Description

This is an original 1975 UK 1st vinyl pressing of Queen's A Night At The Opera

On EMI Records Reference EMTC 103

Runoff matrices YAX5063-3 and YAX5064-2 "Blair" hand etched on side 2

The Record : EX

Both Labels are free from any writing or tears - No spindle wear. 

TEST PLAYING IT :

Great Audio! Start to finish there are CERTAINLY no skips/jumps - it plays through fine with just some crackle in the quieter parts and a handful of clicks here and there

The Outer Sleeve : VG

Embossed crest on the front in keeping with a 1st press. "Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd", Lyrics on the inner gatefold. Spine has a little wear (see pictures) and slight ageing/ringwear on front and back as this sleeve is prone to. But its in nice shape

Inner sleeve is the correct die cut picture sleeve cut on 3 of the 4 corners - This is EX

NOTE : PLEASE ask before bidding from overseas as there are some countries I don't and won't post to.

I'll be using Royal Mail Recorded

If you're local and want to pick up in person then that's also fine.

All records graded as per the Record Collector / Goldmine Guide as closely and conservatively as I can

Record will be sent in a stiff mailer with the record removed from the outer sleeve and all in a plastic sleeve to prevent splits in transit - I am a collector myself so hate when that happens.
