Housed in a front laminated 'James Upton' printed bi-flipback cover which has the uncensored rear panel text, later pasted over and then removed from all later issues. The offending passage reads:
"....If you don’t have bread, see that blind man knock him on the head, steal his wallet and low and behold you have loot, if you put in the boot, good, another one sold!....."
This disc comes complete with original poly-lined inner-sleeve.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate pair with just a small handful of extremely faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which appear 100% 'as new' in strong daylight, with nothing more than a few difficult to detect paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine beneath halogen light. No need to upgrade this one.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This flawless sounding copy has been little played contains no trace of any groove/playwear or any clicks, pops or indeed any other audible distractions. Apart from a touch of regular low-level vinyl background between tracks, it cannot be faulted.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A respectable example of this early cover variation which retains an unscratched, high-gloss front panel laminate bearing just a faint disc impression from storage and small bend in the lower right corner, but 'thumbnail' wrinkles anywhere.
All corners are in nice shape with with just slight bruising to the tips of two and no damage to either opening edge.
The exposed rear panel has some handling marks/age-toning but is free from any writing or missing paper.
Both seams and the fully worded spine are all smooth, unstressed & unsplit.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
