Jethro Tull

This Was

**VERY 1st UK Press: A/B**

-IN STUNNING CONDITION TOO-



I have recently bought a lovely collection of Jethro Tull 1st presses from a single owner..Each are in STUNNING condition and shall be listed here in the next few weeks-so grab a couple and save on postage-you won’t be disappointed as each sound AMAZING!

So, this one up for sale:

Catalogue Number: ILP 985

(A more difficult to find MONO pressing of this iconic album)

End Matrices: A/B


The Vinyl:

EX+

HEAVYWEIGHT QULITY: 166g

I hav just given her a gentle vacuum clean, followed by an ultrasonic bath and then listened to the whole album...I am very happy to report the audio was stunningly clean and clear throughout...Hard pressed to find ANY background noise to mention!

Visually there are just hairline marks to the vinyl when held to a very bright light...Nothing at all to affect playback.

AN UPGRADE


The Labels:

NEAR MINT.

Yep, that good!

They are the original TEXTURED pink labels with the all important EYE logo at the 9 O’clock position.

Barely any spindle marks visible.

READY FOR FRAMING!


The Cover:

EX+

W-O-W...This cover has lasted the test of time with great resilience.

The spine is the the very 1st pressing WIDESPINE-as you can see in the images provided with a ruler next to the spine.

Really is superb condition with the front and back panels being a laminated gatefold. Even the picture inside remains vibrant and CLEAN.

To be ultra critical-the only points of any (insignificant note) are a couple of fingers of spidering to the laminate from the spine and some incredibly light rubbing to the corner-condusive with 56 years of gentle shelf wear.

NO WRITING, RIPS OR TEARS.

Again...

AN UPGRADE.


SO FOLKS-THIS IS THE TIME TO UPGRADE YOUR JETHRO TULL COLLECTION WITH AN EASY EX+/EX+ COPY-LOOKS GREAT, SOUNDS GREAT AND IS THE VERY 1st UK MONO PRESSING.

**SUPERB**

(KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE OTHERS I SHALL BE LISITNG FROM THIS SAME COLLECTION)
