This is one of the exciting Indie Rock Album and is one for any serious vinyl collectors.
This particular item is well looked after. That said there will be the usual marks on the record sleeve.  Also there will be some hairline marks with the record.  Please understand this is not a new reissue but the original pressing so it is more 40 years old.
If you can't accept those condition please don't buy and hoping to have partial refunds because it is described here.
Record: EX Sleeve: Very Good, Two small tears front cover. Sticky label residue over Bar Code.

It's time to dislodge my massive collection of records I collect all these years. I have to call it a day after losing my hearing. There are more than 2000 records comprising Classical, Rock and Rock, Folk, Jazz and Pop music. They are mostly the first pressings or second pressing from the era, not the recent reissues which suffer from wrapping and bad sound quality.
