AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST UK PRESS PLUM/RED ATLANTIC LABEL. VERY RARE AND RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE IN SUCH COLLECTIBLE CONDITION-ORIGINAL AND IN BRILLIANT EX CONDITION THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1ST PRESSING WITH A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL GATEFOLD MATT SLEEVE. 

Vinyl: EX.  Barely played, maybe just a couple of times as evidenced by some minor spindle traces. Audio is A++ and this vinyl sounds out of this world, a majestic classic. The audio has beautiful separation and there is no background noise. I have test played it on my Linn Sondek/Arcam set up and it sounded stunning and brought me right back to when I first played this album in the seventies.There are no marks and I could just spot one wispy hairline on side 1 under a strong light. Under a strong light there are a couple of paper retraction traces, these are completely invisible in normal daylight and the vinyl looks just pristine. I played this in full and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was even tempted to keep this as it will be very hard to find this ever again in such archive condition, it is indeed mega rare these days. Needless to say NO jumps, clicks or ticks. This will be a fantastic upgrade for most long time collectors!!

 Gatefold Sleeve: VG++/EX. Fantastic looked after sleeve without any damage.  Beautiful deep unfaded colours. No creases. A super crisp opening, only 1 in a hundred will be of this supreme quality. Just two light spinal crease as seen in the picture but even new albums have this as caused in the production process.  A fully legible spine with just light storage wear. the top and bottom edges have moderate storage wear. No writing, no marks , one of the best I have come across for this very vulnerable dark matt sleeve!! This is an upgrade copy and a final upgrade for most collectors in my opinion. You just don't find them like this anymore.

It also still has the original date printed inner sleeve with polylining and blue writing. The lining is still firmly attached.

SO HARD TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN THIS FANTASTIC CONDITION . THIS WILL BE AN UPGRADE FOR MOST SERIOUS COLLECTORS. IT IS VERY HARD THESE DAYS TO STILL FIND THIS GEM IN THIS SMASHING CONDITION. IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN IN THIS SPLENDID CONDITION WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
