Up for auction is this absolutely gorgeous classic album as a very first issue with the PVC outer sleeve and the original photo printed inner sleeve. All later issues miss these two components which are mega rare and probably only about 1000 were issued. As to how many would have survived after nearly half a century, that's anyone's guess ... The complete package is barely ever seen these days.

Their fantastic and very rare  debut album (with Twink on the drums!!). Original UK copy, comes with the whole package:  Original outer PVC-sleeve + cardboard gatefold inner + poly-lined printed inner sleeve. Musically I don't need to explain this gem, I guess..... Rare!

Sleeve: EX.  As said this comes with the wraparound cardboard sleeve which has a couple of the light creases. Then there is the all-important PVC printed outer sleeve. This is an artefact really as it is the third I have ever seen in 30 years of collecting and I have been at many many fairs. It is near perfect with just a small seam split of 2cm on the top opening, apparently all copies sold and documented have this as the sleeve was produced in too small dimensions. The inner sleeve, again an elusive item is polylined and has a printed band photo. On the reverse it is blue printed "Plastic bags can be dangerous" and the date stamp "0571". It has no splits which again is rather unique.

Vinyl: EX.  A lovely vinyl with only light sleeve retraction wispy traces only visible under a very bright light.  Looks barely played!!  I have played this through all the way and I am glad to report that the audio is stunning throughout. On the spindle hole there is still some vinyl debris remaining suggesting absolutely minimal play. Great prog and the seeds for change had already been planted here!!  This just stood out over all the rest! Without doubt the best vinyl for this album I have ever seen. Of course, NO skips, NO jumps, NO ticks.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 30.00.  These fees in England have gone up significantly last May. Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!
