Notes:-

This copy is very unusual in that it has the 1970 sleeve but with early matrix and NO EMI on record.

The vinyl is flat shiny and looks almost perfect. I played it this morning and it sounds even better. This is not one of the typicallyscratched and beaten records of this era.

The sleeve has a small label mark on top rear otherwise it's in good condition with small scuffs. All the artwork is sharp and clear. The original inner white sleeve is present and although in very good condition, time has yellowed the paper a little.

I now listen to all the records I am selling on good quality equipment, so the grading is for sight and Play Quality. This is taking me some time but a great trip listening to all this fantastic music.
If you are looking at this auction I'm sure you willknow all about it's history and the impact it had in 1970. I purchased this record new in my youth and it has hardly been played since. The cover is good and the vinyl looks amazing for a record of it's age. The sleeve is in good condition, (see below) the artwork is bold and sharp, some small scuffing to the edges, only very very small scuffs at the corners. It's a very good copy of an excellent /awesome record.

Please see the pictures or ask for more if you at all unsure.

Condition:-

Record: Excellent / near mint

The vinyl is in Near Mint/Mint condition. Even the quieter sections sound amazing, clear sharp with great base. The vinyl has only a few minimal marks from in and out/NO scratches. Very shiny vinyl ! Therecord is 100% flat and plays without skips and doesn't get stuckwhile playing. Not the typical scratched records. Beautiful shiny vinyl.

Outer Cover: Excellent. Somevery small scuffs on the corners.

Comes with the original plain white inner sleeve.

I am not arecord dealer, I am selling part of an extensive collection of interesting and rare vinyl collected during my youth. I will be adding many more very rare vinyl LP's over the next weeks.

Identifying each recording is not easy, but I have tried to be as accurate as I can be. Please forgive any mistakes and please let me know if I get anything wrong.

I will try my best to correct any errors.

I have more pictures if you would like any more please let me know.

I now apply the Ebay ‘4-day’ rule for non-payment.

Please note and take in consideration that vinyl records although perfectly playable do not have the same quality sound as today’s modern CDs, they tend to have a much richer sound, but there is inevitably someback ground 'noise'

All my records are of good playable quality but should be properly cleaned before playing.

You should bare in mind that these vinyl records are many years old and will thus not be in pristine condition, they were not produced yesterday.

THE POST OFFICE HAVE PUT UP THE COST POSTAGE AGAIN !

For safety all my records will be well packed in LP mailer envelope with packers and posted 'signed For', hence  the slightly higher packing and postage costs.

The item will beposted as soon as any cheque has been cleared, several days!

Please take note the seller will not be held responsible for items lost in transit via standard mail .

Sorry but no collections are possible, unless by prior agreement, i.e. before you bid.

The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
