A PROG CLASSIC FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND IT PLAYS WITH NO NASTY AUDIO ISSUES AND COMES IN THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS COVER !!!! DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, BUT TO AVOID TO MUCH CONTACT WITH OTHER PEOPLE IF THE POST OFFICE STAYS OPEN, I WILL ONLY BE POSTING TWICE A WEEK . IF YOU HAVE WON ANY LP'S, AND I AM UNABLE TO SHIP I WILL KEEP THEM VERY SAFE, AND SHIP WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA SAFE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME, THANK YOU, ROSE . THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESS :: A * V 1 ( 11 2 ) :: B V 1 ( 11 5 ). ON THE RED PLUM ATLANTIC LABEL :: 2400006 . COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS WITH RED PLUM CAT NUMBER ON THE BACK, '2400006'. THE SPINE IS FULLY READABLE AND IN NICE CONDITION, AND ALSO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE IS A SMALL STICKER RESIDUE MARK TOP RIGHT CORNER, SOME SMALL CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THERE IS A INK STAIN MARK ON THE BACK BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, AND SOME LIGHT HANDLING MARKS, AROUND THE EDGES, BUT NOTHING MUCH, AND FOR A BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS, THANK YOU. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE THIS SOLID ORIGINAL :: VG+/EX- . VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS AMAZING, AND THE ONLY THING ON THE AUDIO IS ON TRACK 1, AS THE REST OF THE TRACKS AND SIDE 2 PLAY WITH NOTHING ON THE AUDIO AT ALL. SO ALL I HEARD, AND NOTHING INTRUSIVE WAS TWO FAINT TICKS AT THE START, FOUR FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, TWO MORE TOWARDS THE END, AND ANOTHER TWO AT THE END, AND AS MENTIONED NOT INTRUSIVE. THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2, AND THAT'S ALL, SO THEN BEAUTIFUL CRISP CLEAR AUDIO. VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS VERY NICE, AND HAS A VERY NICE SHINE, AND WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND COSMETIC FINE HAIRLINES, AND ONE HAIRLINE IS VERY SLIGHTLY FEELABLE AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1. BUT REALLY THESE JUST HAVE A VISUAL AFFECT WHEN SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND AS YOU HAVE SEEN BY THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, AND WHEN YOU SEE THE AUDIO GRADE, THEN YOU WILL KNOW THEY ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. SO A DIFFICULT ONE TO GRADE, SO I WILL GRADE TRACK 1 FIRST AND THE REST OF THE TRACKS SECOND WHICH WILL GIVE YOU A FAR BETTER IDEA, SO :: TRACK 1 I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX- .THE REST OF THE TRACKS ON SIDE 1, AND ALL THE TRACKS ON SIDE 2 I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT .LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN :: EX/EX+ .POLYLINED INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SPLITS WITH SOME AGEING MARKS AROUND THE EDGES :: VG+/EX- . A WONDERFUL ALBUM THAT PLAYS WONDERFUL AS WELL. JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT TICKS ON TRACK 1 AND THAT'S ALL, AS THE REST OF THE VINYL PLAYS OUTSTANDING, AND I FORGOT THOSE COUPLE OF LIGHT TICKS BETWEEN TRACK 1 AND TRACK 2 !!!!
