Issue details
This is the original 1973 UK release. A remastered version was issued in 1974.
Catalog Number MDKS 8010
Vinyl Matrix: Side 1… 7-LNMG-277-2L, Side 2… 7-LNMG-278-1L
Condition
Some surface scratches visible on vinyl. Labels very clean.
Gatefold sleeve is in good condition, some signs of wear, slight creasing in places and ink worn in places, see photos for details. Original inner sleeve is a little worn with a few dog eared edges but basically intact and the inner cellophane protects the vinyl nicely.
NOTE: I have not removed the ‘Boots the Chemist’ stock label from the front as it will take some of the surface off the cover. I Could say I have left it as a bit of social history!
Playback
Side 1 – Quality is generally very good a couple of ticks and minor static crackle audible during the quiet 3rd track.
Side 2 – 1 tick early on, some light crackle, couple of very faint ticks towards end of track 1, light static between tracks, some light static during quiet 2nd track as well as an audible scratch (two pops) towards the end, very light static during quiet bits of third track but generally pretty good.
