Description
Original UK pressing from 1979 on CBS Records. Hard to find thee originals, especially in this condition. Comes with two printed inner sleeves. Some editions came only with generic white inner sleeves and single page inserts. Bought second-hand and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment. Beautiful copy.
- NM cover is clean with no markings and no seam splits. Spine and edges are strong with no wear. Very slight wear bottom right corner (photo). Other three corners are strong and sharp with no wear. Really nice cover.
- NM inner sleeves are clean with no marks, tears, creases or seam splits. Corners are strong and sharp with no wear. Really nice.
- NM Side 1 is clean and glossy with no marks or scuffs. Beautiful.
- NM Side 2 is clean and glossy with no marks or scuffs. Beautiful.
- NM Side 3 is clean and glossy with two very small scuffs. These are light surface scuffs and will not effect play quality.
- EX Side 4 has a longer scuff through tracks 3 and 4 ("I'm Not Down" and "Revolution Rock") I have play-tested with headphones and have not heard any audible imperfections due to this scuff, but it still drops the visual grading.

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection. Much tender loving care has gone into this collection. I have digitally archived all my albums. These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins. All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment. Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed. Stay tuned!
Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
