ONE OF FIVE DIFFERENT COLOUR ALTERNATIVES FOR THIS SLEEVE

I WROTE THE ORIGINAL 4-ISSUE PINK ISLAND FEATURE FOR UK RECORD COLLECTOR AND I OWN ALL FIVE VERSIONS

as anticipated, I've just seen another seller claiming just three colours exist - also incorrectly identifying one of them as 'black'

the colours printed by EJ Day were in fact: purple, blue, green, dark brown, light brown

A FABULOUS EXAMPLE SIMPLY NEVER SEEN IN THIS PRISTINE SHAPE

NO SPLITS, TEARS, WRITING, STICKERS, STAMPS, SCUFFS OR STAINS

THE SPINE IS PERFECT - ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND CRISP

INCREDIBLY, THERE IS NO EDGE, SEAM OR CIRCULAR WEAR TO THIS BEAUTIFUL COVER

CORRECT - NO CIRCULAR WEAR!

TRY FINDING ANOTHER IN THIS GORGEOUS CONDITION - GOOD LUCK!

NO FADING, YELLOWING, MARKING OR RUBBING

ONLY VERY LIGHTLY BUMPED CORNERS

SUPER SHARP OPENING EDGES
