Matrix Numbers:-

1Y//3 420 11 1 (with a triangle between 3 and 420)

Gatefold sleeve has a bald patch on back. This can be seen on the attached photographs.

Inner sleeve is the original large swirl pattern. The inner plastic lining has detached from one side.

The disc is in excellent* condition. Under electric light I can see a few light lines but nothing that stops this disc sounding excellent.

You should check out the quality on the attached eCommerce Player. (In fact my request/demand is that you listen before placing any bid.) You would know it was vinyl but I guess that's what you are seeking.

It's a great album capturing this pub rock with a touch of country band fronted by talented writer Mickey Jupp.

I first heard Cheque Book when it was covered on an early Dr Feelgood album.

“Well my mama and papa told me they had some words to say
They said get out, I said I'm leaving anyway”

I reckon that outclasses that Sondheim chap for sure. If you have a second why not check out a few comments from Wilko Johnson on Youtube?

Another Southend connection is that the first Kursaal Flyers first album “Choc's Away” has a cracking version of “Cross Country”.

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
