There are no recognised first-press misprints or factory errors associated with this album. Collectors identify genuine first issues by the A1/B1 matrices, plum labels, MacNeill gatefold sleeve, and overall originality and condition.
A superb collector's copy of one of progressive rock's defining albums.
The record will be removed from the sleeve before posting to prevent seam splits and will be securely packed in a professional record mailer with protective stiffeners.
