UK PRINTED 1st ISSUE COVER, WITH ALL THE 32 DIE-CUT WINDOWS UNTORN, ALL IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION
Condition of cover/record: EX+ / NM (Grading as used by Record Collector)
The cover is beautiful! Has a nice satin finish, made of heavy card with the cut out windows - all flawless, the three edges are very clean with very minor fraying at the corners. The back cover has the Kings Road, London address of SWAN SONG printed below the logo. The side opening inner sleeves are the thick, heavy card type only in the original 1975 UK issues and "Sleeve printed and made in England by Gothic Printers And Finishers Ltd" is found printed on the the fold-out inner card. Only this 1st issue was printed is the UK - production was then shifted to Germany for all the re-issues. This cover has been stored in a plastic sleeve and has had very little handling - an absolutely excellent cover with no blemishes, creases or marks at all.
The fold out inner card is completely original, heavy 1st and in great overall condition. Slight yellowing to the very top and a couple of very feint marks on one side.
The inner sleeves are almost flawless - I could only spot a tiny (1/2 inch) crease on each at the open end. The two different inner sleeves are made fom the thick carboard which was only used on the first pressing. Also they are side opening, unlike the thin paper, top opening German made inners. Both have unfaded colours and are in superb condition with no visible ringwear at all. Again, no marks at all - NEAR MINT
The four Swan Song labels are vivid, bright and clean with no visible spindle marks (believe me, I really tried to find some!) and the most minmal spindle wear - as though it was only played a couple of times. The printing on the labels features the heavy, bold type, again only seen on the very first pressing. The SWAN SONG artwork on the label is very bright and colourful. The vinyl itself is almost pristine - a very, very few light surface marks (literally one or two on each side) can be seen at an angle under a bright light, but there are no clicks, pops or background/surface noise. The record has a wonderful glossy shine and plays like new, producing a beautiful warm tone with great power and a crystal clear audio definition. Even the run in is near silent - I can't hear any groovewear - anywhere! This record is 30 years old but looks and plays like it was bought last week!
All in all a fantastic example of this increasingly rare Rock n Roll masterpiece!
I have listened to the record all the way through to ensure an accurate description.
