Septober Energy - Original UK 1971 Vinyl 2LP Set

Rare original 1971 UK RCA Neon vinyl 2LP set ? featuring large progressive rock, jazz-rock and avant-garde jazz band led by Keith Tippett.

Karl Jenkins, Ian Carr, Brian Smith, Jeff Clyne, Roy Babbington, Bryan Spring, John Stanley Marshall.

Vinyls has the laquered labels with generic company logo on Side 1 and the vertical outline/solid horizontal RCA-Neon logo on tracklisting label.

Vinyl is housed in a polylined jet-black inner sleeve and ultimately in a superfragile matt finish Howards Printers gatefold picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and labels)/VG+ (Cover):
Vinyls has a single light and inaudible mark combined with a touch of sleeve wear ? otherwise superlustrous and perfect.

Labels are perfect without any signs of play or handling.

Cover has light to some wrinkling in spine corner regions from corner dent and along some parts of vinyl outline on front and back.
Cover has mid upper front and lower right back spots of wear in the entirely white areas ? and a small upper rigt front and a tiny mid upper back tear against spine.
Inner spread is close to perfect and displays a much lesser degree of outer signs of handling.
Seams are intact with light wear to lower seam ? a little corners wear - all in all some degree of minor flaws which does not disturb the overall viewing of the cover artwork ? cover is graded straight VG+ - not bad for a cover which has such a large potential for wear and handling.
