Condition:  EX++

*********A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE**************

 THEIR THIRD SLAB OF RATHER FORMIDABLE PROGRESSIVE GOODNESS AND THEIR BREAKTHROUGH ALBUM- SO RARE IN THIS SHAPE.
DISC - BARELY PLAYED - WONDERFUL JUST PRESSED SHINE NM  -  IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND NOWADAYS!!!

     Extremely hard to find as a first press !! Yes, like only a few other bands had a natural interaction in which the members "played off" eachother. A stunning set with my all-time favourite "Yours is No Disgrace". Heavy first press vinyl in NM condition. Barely played, No spindle marks on side one. Only two light spindle traces on the side two label.

Rarity: SCARCE as a first press. Later re-issues on the orange/green label are quite common. It is very hard to find this in EX or above condition. Most examples I ever found were vg or under.

                                 Vinyl: NM.  A//1 B//1 denoting a correct first press with machined matrices. I have played this in full> There are NO jumps, NO clicks and NO sticks!!!  Even under a bright light no lines can be seen.The audio is stunning all the way. Unbelievable musicianship and no wonder that this album is so much sought after. Very hard to find this vinyl in this fantastic condition!!! This is how this album should be heard. The CD version just hasn't got the same warmth.

                        Gatefold Sleeve: EX. What can I say? This has to be the very best of this album I have  come across in a long while!!!! This will sit proudly in even the most demanding of collections. An absoluty fantastic upgrade!! Rich like newly printed colours, this has been stored away from sunlight for  40 years. No stickers, NO writing, NO smudges .... and ...just one mini crease near the opening. Even a new copy would have this. This looks as if it was purchased yesterday over the counter of a 70's record shop. All edges are 100% WITH HARDLY ANY WEAR!!! Just look at the pictures. Tiny corner "micro" bumps.

                    Labels: NM.                        

Inner sleeve: EX. An original polylined blue printed inner sleeve.

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. But in this superb condition ....? Golddust!!

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 41.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
