Jethro Tull ?– This Was LP 1968. Gatefold sleeve, RARE first press (ILPS 9085) with Pink Island label, and earliest orange/black Island eye variant with wide spine, details are checked and are as per below information.

This is a record of some value in the right condition, so i have tried to grade conservatively: Sleeve is VG+, in really excellent condition.  Inner sleeve is generic paper inner. Vinyl itself is unfortunately only G+. It has been played right through and there is no skips or jumps, but some surface noise is evident throughout. Visually there are a lot of surface marks. 

If you would like any clarification or further information on condition etc. please message me.

RECORD GRADING

Records are graded as follows:

M

Mint

Must be in perfect condition with no audible or visible defects whatsoever. The record and cover/sleeve should be exactly as brand new.

NM

Near Mint

Almost mint but has one or two minor visible marks on the cover/sleeve or surface with sound quality remaining perfect.

EX

Excellent

Not quite perfect. There may a slight chance of minor deterioration in sound quality. The cover/sleeve may show slight wear.

VG

Very Good

The surface and cover/sleeve shows visible signs of wear due to the fact that it has been played on a regular basis. There will be some audible surface noise but it will not effect the listening experience.

G

Good

The sound quality has deteriorated due to having been played often. The cover/sleeve and surface will show considerable signs of wear and tear with some possible damage.

F

Fair

Has been neglected, but is still playable. There will be major audible defects such as loud clicks or jumping. The cover/sleeve maybe badly damaged.

P

Poor

Technically playable, but with serious deterioration in condition and sound quality. The cover/sleeve will be badly damaged.

VP

Very Poor

In terrible condition and absolutely unplayable. Would only be of use as a last resort to complete a collection.
