Catch A Fire - Original1973 UK Island label 9-track 1st pressing vinyl LP - Zippo Lighter Cover

Rare original 1973 UK Island 9-track 1st pressing vinyl LP - The Wailers'  fifth studio album - labelled "... one of the finest reggae albums ever." ny allmusic reviewer Vik Iyengar.

Vinmyl is manufactured with the 'pink rim palm tree' Island labels and are presented in a polylined light blue inner sleeve with mid-lower company logo and adress in purple - ultimately in a limited edition die-cut, shaped and hinged 'Zippo' lighter style sleeve.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl is bright and shiny - has almost no signs of play or handling... the faintest sleeve scuffing and otherwise perfect. Labels has no signs of play or handling.

Picture cover is nice - has a little wrinkling from marginal bends as well as a tpine corner dent - and a little rubbing in the hinge area... astonishing condition though - considering age and proneness to wear - graded close to near mint/excellent
