EARLY 1ST PRESS WITH RUBY RED COLOURED VINYL

WITH ATTACHED PHOTO LYRIC BOOKLET !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK  1ST PRESS ::  A-1   ::  B-1  .

ON THE DJM RECORD LABEL :: DJLPM 420 .

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY ON MY OTHER LISTINGS. IF YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY MORE LISTINGS, PLEASE GO ON   www.ebay.co.uk. 

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL TEXTURED GATEFOLD WITH ATTACHED LYRIC BOOKLET :: THIS VERY SOLID COVER WAS PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE Ltd :: THIS IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION, WITH ALL EDGES AND THE SPINE, ALSO IN GREAT CONDITION WITH ONLY A SMALL RUB ON EACH CORNER :: THERE IS ONLY A TINY TEAR ON THE OPENING EDGE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE ON THE BACK AND A SMALL SURFACE CREASE LINE ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) :: INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THE ORIGINAL BOOKLET IS STILL STAPLED TO THE COVER WITH ORIGINAL STAPLES AND BOTH INSIDE THE GATEFOLD AND LYRIC BOOKLET ARE IN TOP CONDITION WITH NO PROBLEMS !!! THIS REALLY IS A NICE ORIGINAL COVER AND WITH NO OTHER ISSUES I WOULD GRADE :: EX .

VINYL :: THIS IS THE RUBY RED COLOURED VINYL, WHICH I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PHOTO. IF YOU DID NOT HOLD THE VINYL UP TO LIGHT YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW, AS IT LOOKS JET BLACK WHEN LAYING FLAT !!! UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW VARIOUS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL FINE LINES, AND HAIRLINES AND A SMALL FEELABLE LINE AT THE START OF TRACK 4 ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ). THERE IS ALSO A TINY SLIGHTLY MORE NOTICEABLE SMALL HAIRLINE ON TRACK 1. BOTH OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED ARE ON SIDE 2, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW, IN THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION :: ON SIDE 1, TRACK 1 HAS ONLY TWO SOFT FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, AND THREE FAINT SOFT TICKS AT THE START OF THE LAST TRACK :: WHILE ON SIDE 2 THERE ARE THIRTEEN SOFT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1, AND EIGHTEEN SOFT TICKS AT THE START OF TRACK 4, WHICH IS CAUSED BY THOSE TWO MARKS MENTIONED ABOVE. A REAL SHAME REALLY, BECAUSE THE REST OF THE VINYL PLAYS VERY WELL, SO IF YOU DO NOT MIND A FEW NON INTRUSIVE SOFT TICKS AS MENTIONED, THEN YOU WILL HAVE YOURSELF A NICE PIECE OF VINYL. NOW THE AUDIO GRADE IS DIFFICULT, SO TO GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF THE REST OF THE AUDIO, I WILL GRADE WITHOUT AND WITH THE TICKS >>>

AUDIO GRADE WITHOUT THE ABOVE SOFT TICKS :: A VERY VERY STRONG EX .

BUT THE AUDIO GRADE WITH THOSE SOFT TICKS THE GRADE IS GOING TO BE LOWER AROUND VG . SO PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IF YOU DECIDE TO BID !!!........BUT PLEASE DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY THOSE TICKS AS IT IS STILL A VERY ENJOYABLE PIECE OF VINYL TO LISTEN TO!!

LABELS :: JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT ::  EX/EX+ . 

POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING OR SPLITS, BUT NOT THE ORIGINAL  ::  EX- .

VERY NICE A-1 / B-1 UK 1ST PRESS, WITH A VERY NICE ORIGINAL COVER AND BOOKLET. THE VINYL PLAYS VERY NICE WITH THE ONLY REAL BEARING ON THE AUDIO, BEING THOSE SOFT TICKS. STILL A GREAT AND VERY EARLY ELTON CLASSIC !!!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
