On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by Thin Lizzy called "Thin Lizzy" and is an ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Decca label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST LPs ON THE DECCA LABEL TO FIND AS A 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESSING (AND THIN LIZZY'S RAREST LP EVER!) - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1971 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL - IS IT IS A 100% GENIUNE UK 1ST PRESSING, WITH AN ULTRA RARE LAMINATED COVER!!!!  AND THIS IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP (HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE?)!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 1971 - ALL 1ST PRESSINGS CAME WITH A LAMINATED COVER!!!!  NATURALLY THIS LP SOLD ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLY ON RELEASE (WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES BEING SOLD!) AND WAS QUICKLY DELETED!!!!  AND IT WAS ONLY LATER IN 1973 (WHEN 'WHISKEY IN A JAR' BECAME A HUGE HIT!) THAT THIS LP WAS RE-ISSUED WITH A STANDARD UNLAMINATED COVER.  OF COURSE, THIS LATER PRESSING WAS GENERALLY MUCH POORER IN QUALITY - HAVING THINNER VINYL AND SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT LABELS (AS WELL AS A CHEAPER LOOKING UNLAMINATED COVER!)!!!!  AND BE VERY AWARE - THAT ANY COPY OF THIS LP WITH AN UNLAMINATED COVER DATES FROM 1973 (AT THE EARLIEST!) AND IS NOT A 1ST PRESSING!!!!  SURE, 'INNER SLEEVE SWOPPING' GOES ON AND EVEN RE-ISSUES OF THIS LP ARE HARD TO FIND - BUT THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT ALL 1ST PRESSINGS FROM 1971 WERE LAMINATED - SO IF YOU HAVE AN UNLAMINATED COVERED COPY - IT IS A SIMPLE RE-ISSUE FROM 1973 OR LATER!!!!  AND THE REASON YOU VIRTUALLY NEVER EVER SEE A 1ST PRESSING WITH A LAMINATED COVER IS NOT BECAUSE THE LAMINATE WAS DROPPED, OR THE COVER WAS CHANGED, IT IS SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS LP SOLD SO TERRIBLY WHEN FIRST RELEASED!!!!  AS I JUST SAID - THIS LP ONLY SOLD A FEW HUNDRED COPIES AS A LAMINATED 1ST PRESSING BACK IN 1971 - AND MOST OF THOSE WERE BOUGHT BY HARD CORE FANS TO PLAYED THEM TO DEATH!!!!  IN FACT THIS LP IS SO AMAZINGLY RARE, THAT 99% OF COLLECTORS ARE EVEN CONVINCED THAT IT DOESNT EVEN EXIST (AND I WAS ONCE)!!!!  BUT HERE IT IS!!!!  AND THINK VERY VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE PASSING ON THIS AMAZING RARITY - BECAUSE BARELY ANY 100% GENIUNE UK LAMINATED 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP CAN POSSIBLY EXIST TODAY (AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE!)!!!!  AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS QUITE LITERALLY THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!
