TRACKLISTING: More Information
The sleeve with this example is printed with the Island logo and Basing Street address along the bottom edge on the rear. This was only present on the first issue sleeves. The second issue had a slightly different shade of green on the front manufactured from a thicker card and the back just has a small i logo where the address is printed on the first issue.

Condition
The sleeve is graded VG/VG+ as it shows some edge scuffing on all sides however it is free of any rips or splits which is still pretty remarkable 50 years on!

The labels as previously stated are the black block i logo design and they remain very clean with no paper loss or writing. There are only a few very faint spindle marks around the centre hole proving it has only been played a handful of times.

The matrix numbers are machine stamped into the dead wax areas:

ILPS 9105 A-2
ILPS 9105 B-2

Despite being 50+ years old the vinyl remains in stunning near mint condition however as with many quiet/introspective albums there is the occasional pop in places but nothing really to mention it really is a nice clean example.
