The record labels have no writing, no sticker marks, nice unfaded Gold Print, no sticker tears, some 'touched in' wear around the centre hole and some light spindle markings to either label
The vinyl is in VG condition NO scufflines, only a couple of small hairline type marks (NOT feelable with a fingertip!) only 2 or 3 very faint 'bag sweat' traces, the record plays very well for its age with NO skips and NO jumps, a few clicks and a bit of crackle.
The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Patents Applied For' Emitex 'Poly Lined' inner sleeve which is in VG condition overall.
The 'E.J.Day' Flipback Laminated Cover is in VG- condition. It has some edge wear, NO spinal rips or scuffs but the expected lightish corner wear (less than a good many of the others out there), NO rips, NO tears NO splits, NO ringwear and NO writing (the back flipbacks have lifted a little at the corners and there is evidence of taping and re-gluing) Moderate creases round the edge, still got shiny laminate, The opening edge is straight enough with a little feathering. There is a stain however to the sleeve that is less noticeable to the front of the cover sleeve and more noticeable on the reverse (assume it is a liquid stain that is very old now)
IT MAY SEEM CRAZY TO START THIS AUCTION AT 0.99P FOR AN ALBUM OF SUCH RARITY AND MUSICAL IMPORTANCE BUT FROM EXPERIENCE IT WILL SELL FOR THE PRICE THAT IT IS WORTH ANYWAY. tHERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS ITEM. IT REALLY IS A ICONIC PIECE OF MUSICAL HISTORY THAT CHANGED THE WORLD OF POPULAR MUSIC FOREVER.

THE RECORD WILL BE CAREFULLY PACKED USING THE RECOGNISED METHOD OF RECORD AND INNER BEING REMOVED FROM THE COVER SLEEVE BEFORE POSTING.
PLEASE SEE MY OTHER ITEMS WHICH INCLUDE MANY MORE RARE LPs ALONG WITH OTHER RECORDS AND ITEMS OF CLOTHING.
ANY QUESTIONS...PLEASE ASK AND PLEASE NO TIME WASTERS, IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF BUYING, IT COULD PREVENT A GENUINE BUYER FROM WINNING THE ALBUM.
