Description
AC/DC ?– T.N.T.
Rare and highly sought after, misprinted Blue Roo Australian First issue, in magnificent condition.
The very earliest pressing of TNT, with a misprinted track listing on the back of the sleeve, corrected with a sticker with the correct track list.
Only the very earliest issues came with this error, as it was rectified very soon after release.
Very few of these survive today, and never in this sort of condition.
The sleeve is in Excellent condition - The best one of these misprinted sleeves that I have ever seen, or sold.
The sticker on the back is perfect, clean and sharp.
The inside of the Gatefold sleeve is very bright White, but there are a couple of tiny black spots, there is also a touch of wear to the front, bottom right corner - see pics
The vinyl record is Near Mint, and these are the very earliest pressings, identifiable only by the misprinted sleeve.
Plays with exceptional audio quality.
The labels are Near Mint - see pics
A top collectors item, the ultimate AC/DC - T.N.T. issue, in Near Mint condition.
I do have another one of these misprints currently listed, (purchased from the same source as this one) but the previous owner ripped the cover when retrieving the records from wherever he stored them, so the rips are very recent :(
(no repairs attempted, but the surfaces marry up well, and a good quality repair is possible. The record is also very nice, but nowhere near as nice as the one in this listing.
Both issues were pre-ordered through the AC/DC Fan Club, by the previous owner, and his Brother in 1976.
All Pre-orders had the misprinted sleeve. (I can remember my friends eldest Brother getting his one from the AC/DC Fan Club when I was 10 - an odd memory for a 10 year old, but for some reason it stuck)
