1971 UK Island Records (ILPS 9160) FIRST PRESSING
NICE ORIGINAL COPY WHICH PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY
All Right Now and The Hunter were recorded live at Sunderland.
I'm A Mover / Be My Friend / Fire And Water / Ride On Pony / Mr Big live at Croydon.
Get Where I Belong is an Island Studio recording from March 1971
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE ISLAND PALM TREE LABELS
MATRIX: ILPS 9160 A -1u STERLING LH / ILPS 9160 B -1u STERLING LH
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL ENVELOPE SLEEVE WITH PASTED-ON STAMPS "Printed and made by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford"
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL PRINTED INNER SLEEVE
Rush-released by Island to commemorate the band, who had broken up in April 1971.
Possibly because of the publicity caused by their breakup (which had also earned them a successful parting single "My Brother Jake" that same month) the album was a hit, reaching #4 in the UK album charts.
It fared less well in the United States however, reaching only #89

Clean, unmarked labels with barely a spindle trace to be seen

A few marks are visible but none of these have any effect on the sound
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout with just the (very) occasional low-level tick, nothing really - sounds great
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD
Apart from a small tear on the envelope flap (not as prominent as it looks in the close up photo!) the cover is sharp with little wear to the edges and all spine text clear and bold
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Some record imprint on the surfaces otherwise in fine condition - no seam splits
