record very near mint

superb factory-fresh gloss with no hairlines

this near perfect UK 1st press is rarely seen so nice

one of those amazing A&M pressings that first appears jet-black

but is in fact very dark raspberry red when held up to bright light

purchased from a large record sales rep archive collection

and - like almost all his albums, only ever played once or twice

earliest original 1971 UK 1st issue and a nice heavy pressing

hand-inscribed (by the cutting engineer) matrix / stampers:

A M L H  -  6 4 3 0 4  -  A · 1    A    G    1

A M L H  -  6 4 3 0 4  -  B · 1    A    H    1

 

labels mint and perfect

except for a very faint spindle trace to each side

otherwise immaculate with rich tan colouring

and all lettering / logos sharp, crisp, clear and exactly as new

 

cover very near mint

beautiful matt gatefold cover printed and made by MacNeill Press

is very close to mint and as new

the amazingly clean exterior is virtually perfect

this, of course, is mostly white with a silver background

and is NEVER seen so clean and unmarked

NO splits, tears, wear, writing, stickers, stamps, stains, scuffs,

fading, foxing, yellowing or other defects

gloriously rich and delicate colouring to the inside gatefold displaying

The Vision Of St. Jerome (tapestry from Spanish Royal Collection) and all lyrics

lovely spine, immaculate (unbelievable!) ultra-tight seams,

sharp corners, razor-sharp leading edges

clean rear opening edges (these have some light storage bumps)

no circular wear to either the front, inside or rear sleeve

this most appealing example still smells factory-fresh and new

 

inner sleeve mint

correct original A&M paper inner sleeve, advertising earlier Strawbs, and other LPs by:

Humble Pie, Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Carole King and many more

jet-black and snow-white - a scarce original inner and hard to find like this
