JETHRO TULL
THIS WAS
RARE ORIGINAL 1968 UK 1ST PRESS MONO WITH EXTRA WIDE SPINE, FIRST PRESS TEXTURED WITH ORANGE AND BLACK CIRCLE EYE LABELS, AND INTERNAL FLIP BACKS INSIDE THE GATEFOLD ALONG THE TOP ONLY!!!!

THIS IS THE AMAZING FIRST AND DEBUT ALBUM FROM JETHRO TULL. THIS IS THE ONLY TULL ALBUM TO FEATURE GUITARIST 'MICK ABRAHAMS', WHO WAS A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON THE SOUND AND MUSIC STYLE, OF THE BANDS FIRST SONGS !!!! THIS ALBUM RARELY TURNS UP AND IT WILL BE A VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND IT WAS A BIG DECISION TO PUT IT UP FOR AUCTION, AS I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT, AS YOU WILL READ BELOW !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK PRESS  :: +A   ::  +B  .

ON THE ORANGE AND BLACK EYE CIRCLE TEXTURED PINK  ISLAND LABEL  ::  ILP 985 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED WITH LAMINATED FLIPBACKS INSIDE THE GATEFOLD ALONG THE TOP EDGE ONLY, AND THAT EXTRA WIDE SPINE !!!! SUPERB SPINE AND EDGES WITH NO SPLITS OR RUB. THERE IS ONLY A SMALL RUB ON THE SPINE CORNERS. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND THE LAMINATE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO LAMINATE LIFT, JUST A FEW TINY LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO ISSUES, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE A NICE CLEAN SOLID  :: EX . 

VINYL  ::  OUTSTANDING MONO AUDIO WITH JUST A FAINT TICK AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 1. WHILE ON SIDE 2 JUST TWO VERY FAINT HARD TO HEAR TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3....AND THAT'S ALL, AND OF COURSE NO STATIC ANYWHERE !!!! SO AGAIN VERY RARE TO FIND AUDIO LIKE THIS FOR THIS ALBUM. VISUALLY GREAT NEWS AS WELL AS AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL STILL HAS A LOVELY SHINE AND EVEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AS THERE ARE ONLY A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, A COUPLE OF FAINT SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A SMALL VERY FAINT VERY THIN SCUFF ON TRACK 2 ON SIDE 1, AND THAT'S ALL. REALLY JUST COSMETIC AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AS THE AUDIO PLAYS BEAUTIFUL AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO I WELL DESERVED AND VERY IMPRESSIVE  :: EX+/NEAR MINT . 

LABELS :: AMAZING TEXTURED AND CLEAN, WITH JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  :: EX/EX+ .  BUT NEARER EX+ !!!!

POLYLINED INNER ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN' AND IN NICE CONDITION :: EX- .

AS THIS HAS THE EXTRA WIDE SPINE, AN EXTRA WIDE STIFFNER WILL BE PLACED INSIDE THE GATEFOLD TO STOP THE SPINE FROM BEING CRUSHED WHEN PACKED AND IN THE POST !!!!

A VERY RARE CHANCE TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS 1960's CLASSIC AND AS THIS IS THEIR ONLY ALBUM WITH GUITARIST MICK ABRAHAM, THIS IS MUCH MORE BLUESY THAN THEIR OTHER ALBUMS. PLAYS SUPERB AND WILL NOT DISAPPOINT, ONLY IF YOU MISS THE END OF THE AUCTION !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
