1972 UK ISLAND (ILPS 9175) FIRST PRESSING

Matrix: ILPS 9175 A-1U / ILPS 9175 B-1U
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FLIPBACK SLEEVE

Prelude: Song of the Gulls (4:14)
Islands (11:51)

LABELS: NEAR MINT
The labels are clean and unmarked with barely a spindle trace to be seen.
This copy has seen very little play
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces shine like new with just some light brush marks
VINYL Audio: VERY GOOD
Possibly the most difficult original KC album to find in decent condition being housed in a thin delicate sleeve with a thin and equally delicate flipback inner sleeve and having so many quiet passages it never played in *MINT* condition even from new.
This one has seen very little play but there are still some clicks and pops throughout, but no scratches.
Still sounds great with superb sound quality and a great listen
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD
There is rub to all the edges but the cover is clean and unmarked, good and solid
INNER SLEEVE: VERY GOOD
The centre-loading gatefold inner has splits to the edges but is otherwise clean and unmarked
