DISC: This impossibly rare UK 1st press MONO LP is in EXCELLENT+/EXCELLENT condition, with only a few scattered hairlines and very light scratches. Both Elektra labels on the textured paper show only a few spindle trails.

COVER: The fragile UK gatefold sleeve is in EXCELLENT+/EXCELLENT condition, with only signs of wear near the inside spine. The outside spine is not crushed and is fully readable. This particular cover is a rare variation because the inner gatefold construction uses flipbacks, similar to other UK-made covers, and the LP does not slide in from the inside, as it does in 1st press US-made covers.
Please note: On the image of the inner gatefold, the discoloration near the upper left corner on the right side is a light artifact and not actually on the sleeve.

INNER SLEEVE: The original inner sleeve, on textured paper and with "PATENT APPLIED FOR" text, is in EXCELLENT condition, with no seam splits and only light signs of storage wear.

GRADING INFORMATION
- I grade conservatively. MINT is a sealed LP; NEAR MINT is an open LP/cover
with virtually no signs of use/wear; EXCELLENT is a well-looked-after LP/cover
with light signs of use/wear; VERY GOOD+ is an LP/cover with average signs of
use/wear but is not trashed. - I use unforgiving sunlight and incandescent light to visually grade each LP.
- I don’t make unverifiable claims as to how many plays a non-sealed LP has had.
Please note: eBay's shipping cost is only an estimate and may not reflect actual shipping cost.
If you do not live in the United States or Canada, I will ship your item only through eBay's Global Shipping Program.
