"Track Record" logo center, E.J.Day print data to left. Erratic use of upper & lower-case in titles. NO printing to the left of the Track logo inside the gatefold. Discs in poly-lined white paper punch-hole sleeves. "Patent no 800513 & 973939" "Made in England 108 42". Disc 1 carries sides A and D, disc two has B and C.
This UK first press recording is highly regarded for its sound quality.
In the first years of its life it was played extensively but the music was also played equally as much on Cassette and then CDs came along in 1983. My album also had a number of long periods in professional storage due to many house moves across and this all adds up to the vinyl looking in pretty good nick.
When I first started selling vinyl on ebay (some 20 odd years ago) I used test play my records and comment accordingly. I am no longer able to do this but the records / 4 sides look good with bright vinyl and there are no obvious scratches or marks.
Due to serious health issues I have been inactive in recent years but please check out my feedback and profile and DO LOOK AT THE PHOTOS.
I am happy to help with any further information just message me and ask.
