I am selling all of my vinyl as I have not had a record player in over 20 years.  This original UK pressing was bought in 1986 when released.  The etchings and stamps on the runouts are evidence of its early pressing date.  There are some surface marks and minor scratches on the vinyl but I have no idea if there are any sticks or jumps as I have no record player.  The cover has signs of its 31 years of age exibiting use on the edges and corners.  The Original gatefold cover includes the original inner sleeve.  Please look at the photographs to check on condition of vinyl and covers Postage cost is for Royal Mail 2nd class £1.00 packaging costs (LP Mailer, tape, extra packing work, travel etc.) I am selling all my vinyl so please have a look at my other stuff for sale and there is going to be more following, thanks
I DO NOT NOW POST OUTSIDE THE UK. UK BIDDERS ONLY.
