This was a one off Gatefold sleeve design immediately after they stopped blue back sleeves, and is one of the most sought after 1st generation SXL's.

Here it is, one of the most desirable and rarest SXL's, in a very healthy list of similar early rarities.

 The only SXL that comes with a gatefold sleeve. A rare item!

Comments


 
Superb unmarked playing surfaces and labels in a pristine ffss inner.

 I am only being very fussy because of the rarity of this one, you will not find a cleaner lp of this, and the sleeve is still excellent.

Vinyl, labels and playback full near mint, in a superb NM ffss original inner, shown in pic.

  When I took it out, it looked unplayed. When playgrading, it sounded superb.

No wonder this is a top five UK early stereo collectable.

Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction

Unless you buy a vinyl record that  is SEALED there will always be some type of surface sounds, or background noise, known as pops and crackling. If the LP has been played a couple of times, it can never be perfect. This is especially noticeable in classical records, which have quiet passages. You are buying vinyl LPs because they sound better than CDs, however SURFACE NOISE comes with an LP.
