Renaissance - Original 1969 UK Vinyl LP Issue

Rare original 1969 UK Island Records stereo vinyl debut LP album from British progressive folkrock combo.

Vinyl has the generic pink company labels with white outline 'i' logo beneath centre hole and machine stamped matrix information:

Side 1: ILPS-9114 A//1 11 1
Side 2: ILPS-91114 BV1 12 1
stessing that this is a first pressing.

Vinyl is housed in a generic polylined company inner sleeve with 'plastic bags' warning box and ultimately in a matt finish gatefold picture cover with company logo and Basing Street' company address on mid-lower back.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):

Vinyl has a touch of the faintest sleeve wear - next to nothing - and is supershiny. Side 1 label has one light spindlemark - hence the close to perfect grading.

Picture cover has a little wear along front and back eunced against opening which grows a bit more pronounced against opening and spine - as usual.

Cover has otherwise light discontinued seam and edge wear - a touch of corners wear a very nice cover situated between near perfect and VG+ - hence the close to near perfect grading - an albumwhich is rare to come by in a such close to perfect condition.
