 Here we offer a super nice VG++ to near EX/EX original, first pressing Swiss Round Records 01001 LP by the Swiss heavy progressive band Island entitled "Pictures", released in 1977! The GATEFOLD COVER here is a shiny, crisp & clean VG++ to near EX, with light bumps & light wear to the upper right and lower left corners, and slight wear to upper left corner tip! We are FUSSY graders! Any other signs of use/storage are VERY slight...really a lovely 33 year old jacket! The VINYL is a shiny, seldom played overall EX, with 2 or 3 slight, very fine superficial surface marks on side 2, and some VERY faint, VERY slight hairlines, probably from sliding in the paper innersleeve. We grade NOTHING as mint, by the way! Overall, a very fine condition original Swiss pressing, with the very cool H.R. Giger gatefold cover! Offered with NO RESERVE!

***PLEASE REMEMBER*** We do pack and ship very quickly BUT Media Mail is the USPS' slowest service for parcels in the USA, and that INTERNATIONAL parcel shipping time can vary greatly by country. If customs "holds" a parcel, delivery time is even slower, and that is NOT in our control! So please check the date of your payment & our shipping date for a more accurate account of shipping time!

III. PAYMENT: Paypal preferred domestic & international orders, and we REQUIRE that PAYMENT be made within 10 days, UNLESS a prior arrangement is made with us.  PLEASE NO CASH PAYMENTS by mail!
