Description
Low price auction start price, see my other swirls for sale!!!
This is an original UK First press, see photos for description and detail below.
Vinyl has scuffs and hairlines so only marked it a conservative VG, it plays through absolutely fine both sides with age related crackle between songs.
Sleeve is VG, 2 small names written on and scuffing to spine, but overall in good condition.
Inner original swirl in very good condition, these are worth quite a lot of money.
