I have for sale the above LP

Matrix run out is U-560 A,B,C & D

Source; Discogs - First pressing of this release. Sides 1 and 2 of this release are reversed compared to the W - 560 matrix version and it also comes in Red/Blue/Clear mixed colour vinyl.
The cover is on thick card stock with the printing on two panels (front and back) as typical with American style sleeves from this era. Deluxe covers released later in the decade were printed on one piece 'wrap-around' style sleeves of slightly thinner card.

The print on this issue is also more defined than on later issues - this is particularly noticeable on the 'Quadrapig' Logo - later versions appearing slightly blurred in comparison.
Another distinction with this release is the writing on the spine. This issue has the words : ' TMQ DELUXE SERIES 62002Q' whilst the later 'wrap-around' sleeves have the word 'DELUXE' spelled 'DELUX' instead.

The Red/Blue/Clear colour mix vinyl was continued on some of the later pressings (with the addition of 'split' black/colour versions), as were the farm pig labels and U-560 plates. The main distinction here is in the design and construction of the cover - with one possibility being that it was this edition later remembered by artist William Stout as being partially destroyed by TMOQ owner 'Dub' Taylor shortly after printing - it's rarity compared to other deluxe cover types would indicate as such.

LP condition: VG Some minor scratches
Sleeve condition: VG- Plain white showing wear and tear - not sure if original
Cover condition: VG+ Bright colors corner dings, shows some wear and scuffing as would be expected of an older album cover.

My LP grading scale can be found in my store profile, but I do use the most common approach to grading vinyl so there isn't a lot of mystery. Though I am not a regular seller of vinyl, I have sold plenty of vinyl over the years without issue because I like to think I grade conservatively.

I have ended up with two shelfs full (About 8 wood LP crates) that have piled up on me over the last couple years, and with a new lot of lp's, it is just time to sort them out and get them out of my climate controlled building. Unless noted above, none of these have been played excluding LP's that had scratches that I felt required tracks be played through to gage audio impact which may or may not be noted above. Condition is based upon visual inspection. If this is not a new LP, the vinyl will need to be properly cleaned before being played to get the best sound quality out of the LP you purchased.

If buying more than one LP please wait to be invoiced.

For the non-collector buyer - please keep in mind that different audio component set ups will play an LP differently and can impact sound quality.
