ILPS 9169 STEREO THE very first pressing of this HUGE rock classic !
Matrices-A-1U / B-1U Stampers 1 G R

Porky hand etched in run off, confirming the earliest first UK pressing
Almost impossible to locate in this condition .
Audio
Most of these records were heavily played ,suffering massive groove wear and surface damage, resulting in surface noise and distortion. Amazing audio channels !! NO pops, nor clicks! At least a very good aural delivery, and considerably better in some parts ,so rare to find from this 1971 recording. The famous single Look At Yourself is guaranteed to blow ones mind and is heard in sensational style. Distant static detected during the quieter parts of the music, but do little to affect the music presentation.
The heavy rock element is fused with the musical progression that developed naturally within the group.
Sleeve
Single sleeve. THE original Robor printed, mirrored front face, in excellent/- condition. JUST a light buffing on one lateral inset, on inner mirror vertical edge, otherwise a superb example of this highly sought after album sleeve. One of the THE earliest issues with the silver mirror inset in fantastic format . See pics for its reflective powers. Never seen a better copy .Edges excellent , see pics ! Corners with minor wear ! What a beauty ! Grey silver sleeve has some faint ring wear on front where there is some rubbing/fading of coloration. Excellent- condition and rare to locate like this. Most are found very heavily worn so a wonderful example of this unique album sleeve.
Inner sleeve WITH LYRICS!!!
How often do we find this release incomplete ? NOT this one. THE original inner sleeve is here and in very good condition ! Three seam splits. All edges have tape repair. Hardly any discoloration noticeable! So hard to locate . Only found with the earliest, first UK PRESSINGS.
Vinyl
Porky etched in run off. Beautiful polished surfaces. The odd surface mark visible under ordinary light . These are non audible. Obviously a minimum playing history/light signs of play . Thick, heavyweight giant ! Excellent- visual display .
Label
Bronze record label format with no discoloration visible. Fresh and ultra clean . How incredible is this on a heavy rock album release. Hardly any spindle trace visible. Excellent !
A superb example of “a much sought after” seventies rock classic. A phenomenal hard rock psyche .
