A GREAT COMPLETELY ORIGINAL COPY OF ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. THIS COPY HAS ALL ITS ORIGINAL INSERTS AND IS IN EXCELLENT-NEAR MINT CONDITION. COPIES IN THIS CONDITION DON'T COME AROUND TOO OFTEN. DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GET A GREAT COPY OF THIS 38 YEAR OLD CLASSIC.THE DETAILS...
THE SLEEVE: VERY FIRST UK PRESS 'MIDNIGHT BLUE' GARROD & LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE. BACK COVER HAS 'SHVL 804 (IE 064-05249) STEREO' IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. INSIDE GATEFOLD HAS 'PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LTD' IN BLUE TEXT IN LOWER LEFT CORNER. SLEEVE IN REMARKABLE CONDITION, ONE OF THE NICEST FIRST PRESS 'BLUE' SLEEVES I'VE COME ACROSS. THESE 1ST PRESS SLEEVES ARE FAR MORE MATTE THAN GLOSS (THE LATER ONES ARE MORE GLOSSY) AND BECAUSE OF THIS THESE SLEEVES OFTEN SUFFER FROM RINGWEAR - THIS SLEEVE HAS NO RINGWEAR. NO WRITING, NO TEARS OR RIPS. PERFECT INNER GATEFOLD. VERY LITTLE BAD TO SAY ABOUT IT - SLIGHT EDGEWEAR IS ALL, GREAT FOR A 38 YEAR OLD - EX+. SEE PICTURES FOR DETAILS.
INNER SLEEVE: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS PLAIN BLACK POLYLINED INNER SLEEVE WITH WHITE PATENT TEXT (SUBSEQUENT PRESS CHANGED TO WHITE INNER SLEEVE). THESE OFTEN SUFFER FROM SEAM SPLITS (OFTEN ALL 3 SIDES DUE TO THE DELICATE NATURE OF IT) THIS INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS AT ALL AND THE LINING IS INTACT. NO WEAR OR OTHER ISSUES. A GREAT COPY OF THIS DELICATE INNER. EX+. SEE PICTURES.
VINYL: 1ST PRESS A2/B2 MATRIX NUMBERS. WITH RARE EARLY MOTHERS TOO! - BOTH SIDES FROM THE 2ND MOTHERS WHICH I HAVE FOUND TO BE QUITE RARE - THE MAJORITY OF THESE SOLID TRIANGLE PRESSINGS THAT I HAVE SEEN USE THE 5TH OR EVEN THE 7TH MOTHERS ESPECIALLY ON SIDE 1. SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE (ONLY PRESENT ON FIRST PRESS - CHANGED TO BLUE OUTLINE ON SUBSEQUENT PRESS TO IMPROVE LEGIBILITY), GRAMOPHONE RIM TEXT (ALSO ONLY PRESENT ON FIRST PRESS). FULL GLOSS LIKE NEW SHINE. AGAIN A STRONG EX+. SEE PICTURES.
LABELS: BOTH SIDES PERFECTLY CLEAN, NO WRITING, NO MARKS, NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR. EASILY NEAR MINT. SEE PICTURES.
POSTERS: 2 ORIGINAL POSTERS - 1 BLUE PYRAMID POSTER AND 1 GROUP POSTER WITH SHVL 804 IN BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. NEAR MINT. SEE PICTURES.
STICKERS: 2 ORIGINAL FASPRINT PERMANENT CRACK BACK PATENTED STICKER POSTCARDS WITH DARK BROWN 45 DEGREE ANGLED LINES ON REVERSE (SUBSEQUENTLY CHANGED TO REMOVABLE STICKERS DUE TO THE DAMAGE CAUSED MAINLY TO SCHOOL DESKS!). NEAR MINT - SEE PICTURES.
I WILL BE GRADUALLY LISTING SIMILAR RECORDS FROM MY COLLECTION IN THE COMING WEEKS. PLEASE CHECK BACK - SOME AMAZING STUFF TO COME. ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED. ALL RECORDS WILL BE SENT IN PROFESSIONAL MAILERS WITH TWO STIFFENERS BY RECORDED OR SPECIAL DELIVERY. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING. POSTAGE WILL NEED TO BE SPECIAL DELIVERY FOR THIS ONE AT £7.50. OVERSEAS BIDDERS WILL NEED TO PAY FOR A SIGNED FOR DELIVERY SERVICE WITH THE APPROPRIATE INSURANCE. On 28-Apr-11 at 19:04:18 BST, seller added the following information:
NOTE ON SLEEVE CONDITION - THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LIGHT SCRATCHES ON THE FRONT COVER OF THE SLEEVE. THESE ARE VISIBLE ON THE PICTURES (PICS 9 & 10) ABOVE THE PRISM NEAR THE TOP, JUST LEFT OF CENTRE. THEY ARE NOT ANYTHING MAJOR BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH NOTING IN CASE YOU HADN'T SPOTTED THEM IN THE PHOTOS.
