NICO-The End 1974 UK Island Pink Rim ILPS 9311 First Press 1G/1G N Mint, Rock, Art Rock, Avantgarde
The Robor Limited printed and laminated card sleeve would certainly grade as NM-. There is a little ring wear when viewed at an angle. No laminate lift on the front storage wear. On the back there 2/3 small creases in the laminate at the spine edge. Tiniest area of laminate lift on one of these creases. The cover has a spine which is pinched at both ends and was clearly manufactured as such. Very minimal rub wear at the bottom left corner when viewed from the front. As is usual with such a very glossy sleeve there are some very thin, faint lines which are only visible at particular angles to the light.
The original Island light blue polylined paper inner shows some age discolouration but is undamaged. It has the Island logo printed in the usual place together with the relevant 'Made In Great Britain' and Patent Numbers. It has rounded bottom edges and is graded as EX+.
The vinyl grades as NM and has not been played much. The Island Pink Rim labels are unmarked apart from two or three spindle traces. On play grading today, there was some minimal static on the run in on both sides but nothing substantial, maybe a rare pop or click during the remainder of the album but certainly nothing to spoil the enjoyment of the record - even at high volume. It plays superbly with very strong audio. The surface is very clean, glossy and shiny.
