UK DJM (DJLPH 423) ORIGINAL PRESSING (June 1972)
GREAT COPY - SEEN LITTLE USE - PLAYS LIKE NEW

PRESSED ON WHAT, AT FIRST SIGHT, APPEARS TO BE NORMAL BLACK VINYL BUT WHICH WHEN HELD UP TO THE LIGHT REVEALS ITS TRUE DEEP RED TRANSLUCENT COLOUR (a characteristic of PYE vinyl between 1972 and 1974)

VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully with little to fault - just the odd static tick but I did not clean this copy so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Fine example - just a little storage rub
