Description

I got this at the time from the UK label rep, I think he used it as a sample copy on his run past the record shops, and I kept it as a curiousity as it came with a msiprinted sleeve. The outer sleeve is not mint but still in very good condition, for markings check the photos. The inserts were handled awkwardly and picked up a couple of creases (see photos), and the album was lightly played judging by small surface marks.
The sleeve itself is a misprint, the photo should have been pulled all the way to the the right, but it is left-aligned, compressed to only two thirds of the sleeve width. I suspect the US label dumped the misprinted sleeve copies in the UK. I am not sure how many of these exists.

International shipping handled (and charged) by eBay Global Shipping Proogramme. It will ship in very sturdy cardboard that hasn't let me down yet (see feedback).
