My wife got this album on RTE's late late show after U2's first appearance as a band on the show. It is genuine, authentic and very rare numbered first edition of their very first release as a band. The numbered edition (419) is written in blue ink on the label as you can see from the picture. There were only 1000 copies of this first edition printing.
Condition:
The sleeve: As you can see from the photo, there is some ring and edge wear. No tears or tape or rips however. The labels are very clean, with a few small marks on side 1.
The Vinyl: I am no expert on vintage vinyl but I guess this could be graded as "Good". There is a slight edge warp on the vinyl which you can see in the video I have attached. Some light surface marks on side 2 and some heavy surface marks on side 1. However, the vinyl plays very well with the usual few crackles and pops. No skips are heard and the slight warp does not appear to impact playback.
Here is a link to a video playing side 1 of this album.
