A1 & B2
1st Pressing Matrices
Cover: "MacNeill Press" 1st pressing unlaminated non-gatefold cover. It has the 1st pressing 'DL33789' text that is hidden in the clouds in the top left of the front cover and, of course, the 'MacNeill..' text running down the right hand side of the rear cover. No writings, doodles or seam splits. Light wear only - see photos. Rates as Excellent. These covers are very hard to find in nice condition - this is one of the best you will find. Hard to believe it is now 42 years old.
"Head-hunters"Inner sleeve: Excellent.
Vinyl: Play tested. Looks VG+ with a nice sheen and some light feathering/marks. Side 1 has a long hairline scratch. Plays VG with some crackle (particularly on the run-in) and in quieter moments. Occasional pops/clicks. Not mint or even excellent but still very listenable.
Labels: 1st pressing with A1/B2 matrices and with 'MG-12888' hand etched in the run-out groove on Side 1. Only 1st pressings have this - later pressings had Bilbo etched in the run-out grooves.
