QUEEN A NIGHT AT THE OPERA VINYL LP (EARLY PRESS 3/5) EX+ RARE

	£		26
	$		34

Description

This early press of A Night At The Opera is in excellent condition.  Side One is in Near Mint condition with only a couple of very very faint hairlines.  Side Two does have a scratch running across the first two tracks but other than that it is in excellent condition.  Overall in fantastic condition for 38 years old.
The matrix numbers are YAX 5063-3 and YAX 5064-5  - stampers are 5 / OHL and 4 / 246
  The Garrod and Lofthouse gatefold cover is of an exceptionally high standard.  Bar a very small stain on the inside cover I don't think I've seen a cleaner copy, practically as new it is that good.  There is no wear to the corners and the spine is perfect, 100 % intact.  Being an early press it doesn't have the glossy sheen of later versions and of course has the famous embossed crest.  This particular one has "Crest Design Queen Productions Ltd 1975" stamped just below the crest - quite rare as not many copies had this.  
Side One I would grade as Near Mint-
Side Two is Ex+    The gatefold cover is Near Mint-
  The picture sleeve is Ex+ (very slight wear at the bottom but no split)
The labels are Near Mint
