VINYL: EX++/NM. I can only say this is in fantastic upgrade condition, it has probably never been played at all, plays with no distortion, no jumps, barely played. The vinyl looks just pristine for all 4 sides. There is a deep glossy, just over the counter, sheen and this album has been preserved well over the decades by a dedicated collector inside a custom made cabinet for decades sat inside an outer polythene custom sleeve at all times. Please view all pictures for a true impression of this beautiful classic. I have played it on my Linn Sondek Arcam set up and it sounded gorgeous with the fullest possible audio as only a true first press ever can with barely any static at all. A true upgrade if there ever was one.
GATEFOLD SLEEVE : EX++/NM. UK 1st Press matt gatefold sleeve. Hard to find this sleeve without creases, but here it is. A fantastic sleeve without any flaws whatsoever. The inside gatefold is NM. The spine is fully legible 100% and the opening is super crisp. All edges are without any wear at all!! This album also retains its original inner sleeves which are hard to find these days. A glorious sleeve for this absolute genre defying classic of progressive metal. This album is truly in a museum like condition and will be an archive copy worthy of investment for the future. Reportedly only a few thousand were ever pressed up for this album. NO seam splits, NO writing, NO tears etc.
Inner Sleeves: EX++/NM.
Postage will be as per the actual cost as set out at Royal Mail. Please wait for my invoice as I will need to adjust for tracking and insurance if over £30.00
Any questions please ask and I will try to answer the same day and ,yes, I do combine postage.
