THE LYRIC SHEET AND COVER ARE PRINTED IN THE UK BUT THE DISC IS PRESSED IN FRANCE.

THIS ONE STILL HAS THE EARLIEST DESIGN LABELS UNLIKE LATER REPRESSES BUT WITH A DIFFERENT CATALOGUE NUMBER= 40.085. IT HAS EARLY A1/B3 MATRIXES.

CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR!
THE COVER HAS JUST A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.
THE LYRIC SHEET HAS A FEW TINY CREASES AND A LITTLE STAINING. NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!This highly sought after album was from the collection of a very careful collector who has kept them carefully away from light and heat for over 40 years!
The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!
The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!
Most that were buying albums in the 1970s were usually using dreadful equipment!
An ideal opportunity to add an essential album in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
