	£		45
	$		60

THIS AUCTION IS FOR A VERY RARE COPY OF THE JETHRO TULL LP "THICK AS A BRICK".

THIS LP WAS RELEASED IN 1972 ON THE REPRISE LABEL (P-8233R) AND IS AN ORIGINAL JAPANESE PRESSING AND COMES IN A VERY NICE FOLDOUT NEWSPAPER SLEEVE THAT HAS THE ORIGINAL OBI STRIP.

THIS WAS PART OF MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION AND IS ONLY BEING AUCTIONED NOW BECAUSE AFTER MANY YEARS OF SEARCHING I HAVE NOW FOUND AT GREAT EXPENSE A MINT COPY.

THE ORIGINAL OBI STRIP DOES HAVE SOME STAINING TO IT. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN SEE THIS AND THE GENERAL CONDITION FROM THE PHOTOS PROVIDED. ATLEAST IT'S THERE.

THE FOLDOUT NEWSPAPER COVER IS STILL IN A VERY NICE CONDITION. IT IS A LITTLE WORN IN PLACES AND DOES HAVE A SMALL TEAR ON THE FOLD ON THE BACK BUT GIVEN IT'S AGE AND THE FACT THAT IT'S COME ALL THE WAY FROM JAPAN I WOULD SAY IT'S WELL OK. ALL THE PAGES ARE ALL INTACT AND STILL HELD TOGETHER WITH THE ORIGINAL STAPLES.

THE DISC HAS BEEN PLAY GRADED :-

SIDE ONE.

WHEN YOU HOLD THE DISC UNDER A STRONG LIGHT YOU CAN SEE A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS. THERE IS A SMALL AMMOUNT OF SURFACE NOISE THAT CAN BE HEARD IN SOME QUIETER PLACES BUT IT REALLY IS OK. ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH SIDE ONE THERE IS A TWO TO THREE SECOND SCUFF NOISE THAT CAN BE HEARD. YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE MUSIC THROUGH IT OK, BUT IT'S THERE AND NEEDS TO BE MENTIONED.

SIDE TWO.

SIDE TWO PLAYS THROUGH VERY WELL. AGAIN UNDER A STRONG LIGHT YOU CAN SEE SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS BUT NOTHING MAJOR. MINOR SURFACE NOISE IN QUIET PLACES.

THERE ARE NO JUMPS ETC TO EITHER SIDE AND I WOULD SAY THAT THE GENERAL SOUND QUALITY THROUGHOUT THE LP IS VERY GOOD INDEED.

BOTH LABELS ARE ALSO IN AN AS NEW CONDITION.

TO SUM UP, EVEN THOUGH THE DISC DOES HAVE THAT SMALL SCUFF NOISE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS ON SIDE ONE, IT IS WHAT IT IS, A VERY RARE JAPANESE COPY OF "THICK AS A BRICK" WHICH I HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO OWN FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER, I HOPE THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL NOW GET AS MUCH PLEASURE FROM IT AS I HAVE.
