Description
Welcome to my auctions....The time has come to sell my huge record collection over the next weeks/months...so check out my other vinyl listed, more added each week.
I am a private collector, selling my collection, I am not a dealer. Due to poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this not what it might sound/play like. Even the most visually stunning record can have background noise, if you want perfect audio then please find another copy with audio gradings.

Both sides have NO Deep Marks and NO Deep Scratches Under Strong Artificial Light. Side 1 has the odd very very faint sleeve removal sign under strong artificial light. Side 2 has no obvious marks at all. Both sides look stunning, nice and shiny and it's a Nr Perfect example of this Very Rare Earliest Pressing.
Labels both have the odd sign of play (spiders legs) under strong light, Both labels are clean and free from the usual writing etc...see photos
Original Unlaminated Flipback Sleeve Is In Really Nice condition. The front and back of sleeve show only minor handling wear and are both clean with the slightest signs of ringwear. Back has the 2 flipbacks only found on the earliest pressing. Some corner wear. Some edge wear (light rubbing)....see photos...
Gatefold insert Is in great condition, these are very very rare. The only damage as is always seen is the spine has split and has a piece of clear tape running down that edge. Apart from that it is flat and clean.
Original Blue Island Inner is in nice but used condition, it's a bit grubby and creased but flat with no damage or splits.
A Mega Rare and Very hard to find LP In Great Condition.
I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read. I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light. PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that's part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD's or MP3's? Due to my poor hearing, The record is sold as visually inspected so please base your bidding solely on this, in the event that a record may not play well or have background noise no refund will be given because I have no way of verifying and as such, if you place a bid you are acknowledging this
