100% COMPLETE COLLECTOR’S PACKAGE
Up for sale is a beautifully preserved, completely intact UK copy of one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Most copies found today are missing their fragile inserts or have damaged sleeves. This is a rare chance to own the complete original package exactly as it was issued.
What is Included:
The Vinyl: Highly desirable A-3 / B-3 matrix configuration for that definitive, warm British analogue sound quality.
The Hype Sticker: The original, dark midnight-blue circular hype sticker is firmly affixed to the front of the gatefold sleeve.
The Posters (x2): Both
Hipgnosis folding posters (Pyramids and Band Landscape) are present. No pinholes, no tape, no tears.
The "Suckers" Stickers (x2): Both original graphic insert stickers are present with their authentic FasPrint/Permanent backing intact. Never peeled, never used.
Condition Grading (Strict Goldmine Standards)
Vinyl: VG+ (Very Good Plus) to Ex
The vinyl retains a gorgeous, brilliant gloss. Under direct light, it shows only minor, faint paper scuffs and a couple of light hairline sweeps that do not affect playback. It plays beautifully all the way through with fantastic fidelity. Quiet sections like the introductory heartbeats and ambient segues remain clean and powerful. Labels are clean with minimal spindle wear.
Sleeve / Gatefold: VG+
The iconic gatefold cover is structurally excellent. Solid spine with perfectly legible text. No seam splits, no writing, and minimal storage wear. The original front hype sticker looks superb.
Inserts (Posters & Stickers): EX / VG+
The posters have crisp factory folds with no corner pinholes or wall damage. The stickers are flat, clean, and in unpeeled, archivable condition.
Shipping & Packaging
We understand the value of collectable vinyl. This album will be professionally packaged:
Vinyl will be removed from the main sleeve during transit to prevent seam splits.
Shipped inside a heavy-duty, dedicated cardboard record mailer with extra stiffeners.
Tracked and signed-for delivery to ensure safe arrival.
Bid with confidence. Add this complete, foundational piece of UK rock history to your collection today!
