Track A5 - listed different on inner centre label and on album cover. On the inner sleeve, it is listed as, 'I don't wanna be a soldier, mamma. I don't wanna die.'
Track B1 is titled "Gimmie Some Truth" on the inner sleeve.
Inner sleeve graded as VG. It is discoloured, and there are splits on the outer perimeter of the sleeve. This type of damage is consistent with the inner sleeves of albums of this age. However, it is still much better than most others.
Outer Sleeve, graded as EX- VG+. There are the usual bumps and scuffs around the edges and corners. Still nothing of great concern. The laminate is raised in areas but still in great shape overall. There is a tear on the outer spine. Still, the cover is in great shape. There is minimum discolouration. You are still able to read the cover, and there are no splits on the outer edges.
The vinyl L.P. is classified as EX. The centre labels are not damaged and are still nice and clean. The vinyl has minor scuffs and hairline scratches. The playback is great, only a minor crackle here and there that doesn't affect the overall sound quality and the enjoyment of listening pleasure.
This is a great classic. Please bear in mind it's age. 1971 - 53 years old. It's a great find.
Please refer to the photographs I've included of this album. Any queries please get in touch.
