This is the ORIGINAL UK Stereo 1st pressing from 1970 and is in STUNNING condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is 2383-021 on the ORIGINAL Polydor label (see picture) and is a 1970 Stereo 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are Pure quality Eric Clapton at his best!!!! Any fan of Eric Clapton, or 60s/70s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in STUNNING condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and NO crackle!!!! The record must grade FULL Excellent!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve in STUNNING condition!!!! The 1st Press FULLY Laminated Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases (cover is still flat looking), and NO writing!!!! There is also a thin line of laminate lifting along the spinal edge - though it is difficult to notice - and fairly typical of this cover. The opening edge is perfectly straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the laminated back is in STUNNING condition with NO writing,  NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!! This really is a BRILLIANT looking cover!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent (Minus)!!!! THIS IS A VERY RARE 1970 1ST PRESSING AND TOUGH TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION!!!! DONT MISS OUT ON THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

AUDIO QUALITY
When grading the audio quality of an LP, we listen to a sample of every track : Sam and I are committed to giving as much detailed information in our listings.  However, due to the amount of records that we list each week, we can not possibly listen to every LP in full.  As our feedback suggests, we have a reputation for honesty & are trusted by collectors around the world, and if on the rare occasion our grading doesn't represent the condition, we operate a full refund policy (see details below)

This album has been played on very few occasions and the audio reflects this.   Throughout all eleven tracks, Eric Clapton sounds absolutely superb on this brilliant album.
