Stereo Pop Special - 138: Pop Spectacular featuring Al Stewart In Concert - Rare 1977 UK Radio Show

Rare 1977 UK BBC Transcription Service LP.

The radio show is hosted by BBC Radio 1 host Brian Matthew and features live recordings from concert with Al Stewart and band at Reading University, 1976.

Vinyl has generic white BBC Transcription Service labels with green and black printing and upper boxed company logo - comes complete with 2-pages cue sheets of which one is on company paper and one is a photocopy.

Vinyl is housed in a generic yellow polylined die cut company cover with green Company 'BBC TS' logo.

The BBC transcription discs are high-quality live-recordings intended for radio broadcast only and are made in a very limited quantity normally not exceeding 100 copies.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/2xVG++ (Cue Sheets)/VG++ (Cover):

Vinyl is in straight close to perfect condition - some extremely light and inaudible sleeve wear - superlustrous.

Labels are near perfect and has a single spindlemark on each label - otherwise without signs of play or handling.

Cover has the very slightest wear and wrinkling - and has handwritten radio station archieve number - this has not been taken in consideration when grading.
Cuesheets has barely any signs of handling - one has side holes from being stored apart from the vinyl - we have no idea if this is an original feature or not.
