Brilliant record from David!

This album has no Mainman credit on the cover or labels as later pressings have as it has the A GEM Production on both labels
Hear it like it’s supposed to be heard this first UK pressing sound is tremendous!
The production of this record is outstanding, Ken Scott and David did a brilliant job in the making this record.
These British pressing are far superior in sound to their American counterparts and are  getting much harder to come by.
This vinyl is heavy compared to the American RCA Frisbee pressings and quite hard to come  by now, especially in this condition.
The record has maintained its mirror like sheen there are a sleeve removal and hairlines and one visible (nothing deep) on side two It’s superficial and only cause a five very soft  tics. There is like most all records some noise during the quiet passages and the run ins  and outs here and there...Nothing that affects the performance of this brilliant record from  David and it grades an Excellent+.
This matte Robert Stace record cover grades an Excellent, it just has light shelf wear, no splits the  spine is fully legible there's a corner crease (not that bad) on the bottom right hand side of the cover  at the opening other than that the cover is beautiful condition....A GEM Production on the rear  cover...No Mainman.
Comes with the original lyric insert which is in Excellent+++ condition (see scan).
As with all records there may be a stray tick, click, pop or surface noise during the run ins  and run outs and a touch of crackle or low level static here and there which is totally normal  with vinyl. If there was anything  out of the ordinary like too much of any the above I would  not list the record, as I am first and foremost a record  collector just like you..This paragraph  is just to explain what you might encounter when buying vinyl records and  is no reflection  on this particular record.
I’ve been collecting records for over 55 years now and this album is from my personal  collection. 
* Please note: Don't let the buy it now price turn you off, that's why the best offer is there for.
