LISTEN BEFORE BIDDING
Listen to the whole album before bidding.

This is the original early press of Jethro Tull 'Thick As A Brick' on the Chrysalis label from 1972.  The LP comes in a thick textured foldout newspaper cover.  The newspaper cover is still in very good condition with some light creasing and scuffing.  The inner pages do suffer with discoloration and some small tearing at the folds (see photos).  The 'crossword' and 'join the dots' sections have not been completed as with most copies of these covers.  The labels are in excellent condition with hardly any sign of spindle marks.  The vinyl has the 1st press matrix numbers (see below).  The vinyl looks excellent+, really bright and clean with virtually no marks except some light surface scuffing in places.  Playback is superb with virtually no surface noise except some light crackle.  This is a really nice, well looked after copy of a classic album.  If you are intending to make a bid please play and listen to the audio of the album to judge for yourself.

I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling.  I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described although not everyones opinion of its condition will be the same as mine.

If you have any doubts or questions about this record, please ask me and I will try to be as helpful as I can.
