CONDITION
DISC: This UK 1st press heavyweight LP is visually in EXCELLENT+/EXCELLENT
condition. Both sides show full gloss, with some very light sleeve removal marks and signs of
play. Both labels show virtually no spindle traces. This example was cut by legendary record
engineer George Peckham (PORKY PECKO) and is the best-sounding version.
COVER: This very 1st version – indicated by sloping at the top and bottom seams as well as a
pinched spine and a heavy laminate finish – is in EXCELLENT+/EXCELLENT condition,
with a bottom corner bruise and minor signs of storage/edge wear. Overall, it looks superb.
POSTER & POSTCARD: Both examples are in MINT condition, with virtually no signs of
wear.
INNER SLEEVE: The original inner sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition, with NO seam
splits and only minor signs of handling and wear.

GRADING INFORMATION
- I grade conservatively. MINT is a sealed LP; NEAR MINT is an open LP/cover
with virtually no signs of use/wear; EXCELLENT is a well-looked-after LP/cover
with light signs of use/wear; VERY GOOD+ is an LP/cover with average signs of
use/wear but is not trashed. - I use unforgiving sunlight and incandescent light to visually grade each LP.
- I don’t make unverifiable claims as to how many plays a non-sealed LP has had
unless I am the original owner.
For US bidders, I only ship through USPS Priority Mail. I combine shipping costs and do
my best to reduce total cost. Please note that eBay's shipping cost is only an estimate and
may not reflect actual shipping cost.
For bidders outside the United States, I only ship through eBay's Global Shipping Program.
THE simple solution for eBay sellers.
