A single letter 'K' purchase tax code is visible in the centre of the side 1 label.
Housed in a front laminated, bi-flipback 'Buckland Press' printed picture cover.

CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
An unblemished set with just a handful of barely visible spindle marks to each unorn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Immaculate & unmarked deep-gloss surfaces in strong daylight with just some insignificant wispy paper hairlines directly beneath halogen light.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This barely played, if ever copy sounds 'as new' throughout with just a touch of light background between tracks, but no trace of any groove/play wear or any other audible faults.
Cover
NEAR MINT
Incredible to think that this sleeve is 46 years old as it looks as if it left the shops yesterday. It is essentially 'shop new' throughout with just a tiny bruise to the upper right corner but no creasing, discolouration, marks or any other wear. Hard to find a better original example.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 5.00 GBP**
