Description
I believe this to be the first release of this brilliant record – on Blue Thumb. The disc is excellent+ on both sides, with some minor scuff marks which are inaudible. The gatefold is in excellent condition, with slight wear along the edges and corners.
Label: Blue Thumb BTS 1
Matrix side 1: hand etched BTS 5001 D-2 DCT-1
Matrix side 2: hand etched BTS 5002 D-2 DCT-1 ?1
This record has been in my possession since it was issued. For the last 20 years it has lain undisturbed in a plastic box. Now I am selling off my collection. All records will be posted, enclosed in a polythene sleeve inside a strong cardboard mailer.
Like many other sellers, I have graded records in accordance with The UK's Rare Record Price Guide (RRPG), summarised as follows:
Mint: Record in brand new condition. The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition.
Excellent: Record shows some signs of being played, with very little reduction in sound quality. The cover can have slight wear or creasing.
Very Good: The record has been played many times, but with no reduction in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover without major defects.
Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover shows signs of folding, scuffing of edges, spine plits and discolouration.
Fair: The record is just playable, has considerable surface noise and may even jump. The cover is torn, stained or defaced.
