Description

The Wailers Catch a Fire 12 inch vinyl with earlier label (palm tree/Island at the bottom),  Zippo sleeve.
I've had this since I bought it new back in the 70s.  The Zippo sleeve is in good condition- hinge/rivet intact, no tears, repairs, markings, creases, stickers/sticker marks etc. Just a couple of small light scuffs and some wear around edges which I believe is usual with this sleeve.
This record, which looks pretty flawless to my untrained eye, has been very sparingly played- possibly a dozen times total, not played for decades at a time. I just checked and playing the first track there's virtual silence till the music starts, which then sounds very cleanly. 
Matrix numbers: ILPS 9241 A-3U and ILPS 9241B-4U and crossed out: BML 2001 A-3U & BML 2001 B-4U. 
Local pick-up or I'm happy to come into central London, free of charge, to hand over to the buyer.  
I put collection only because I've not sold valuable vinyl before and am nervous about sending it through the post, but if the buyer will bear with me (or possibly guide me) while I source adequate mailer and work out postage/insurance then I'll happily consider posting it (UK only). 
Comparing it to similar items on ebay and the price they've reached I believe this would be a good buy at twice the starting price...
