VERY NEAR MINT

very thick, rigid and heavy original and earliest 1st UK pressing with the US (United Artists) catalogue number inscribed in the run-out groove matrix areas

super high gloss surfaces

beautifully mastered massive fat stereo sound with thrusting bottom end, broad mid-range and penetrating, crystal-clear highs

virtually as new with no scratches, scuffs, hairlines, edge wear, fingermarks or hazing - just a few of the lightest traces from the inner bag - it would be extremely difficult to find a more pristine example

correct original 'basing street' (prior to 'st. peters square' issues) pale blue poly-lined Island paper inner sleeve in superb mint condition

 

labels

heavily textured original deep pink white 'i' labels

MINT

lovely vintage original 1st press textured labels

clean, bright, clear and sharp

no spindle marks to side one - very little spindle wear to side two

 

cover

printed and made by the E.J. Day Group, London and Bedford

original UK 1st issue thick heavy gatefold cover printed on virgin unfinished cardboard

due to natural fibres present in the pulping process, each and every example was unique

VERY NEAR MINT

gorgeous thick and heavy 1st issue sleeve with hardly any signs of handling or ageing at all - no yellowing, fading or stains - the various markings and colouration in the virgin cardboard are a natural characteristic of this unusual process, whereby print was applied directly to untreated board in order to produce the distinctive 'rustic' effect sought by designer Mike Sida - cover has perfect square corners - incredible razor-sharp opening edges are completely as new - all seams tight and perfect with (amazingly!) absolutely NO shelf wear - flat undamaged and unfaded spine with clear, sharp lettering - as new interior gatefold layout with glorious vibrant colour - this sleeve has never been vandalised by folding out completely flat so it is still crisp and tight - the entire package is in fresh-from-the-factory condition apart from an original vintage shop stamp hidden inside - there is no circular wear or impression of the record to either the front, rear or interior sleeve

A UNIQUELY SPECIAL EXAMPLE - PROBABLY THE BEST I HAVE SEEN, OTHER THAN MY OWN COPY, IN 35 YEARS

 

GLAD    FREEDOM RIDER    EMPTY PAGES

STRANGER TO HIMSELF    JOHN BARLEYCORN    EVERY MOTHERS SON

 

IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE IN SUCH NEAR PERFECT MINT CONDITION
