Vinyl is housed in an UK fabricated internal opening gatefold picture cover with 7? x 12? thin cardboard front panel - cover has a lower inner spread catalogue number sticker and a Columbia/EMI label sticker occupying the lower corner area covering the original Fly label logo.

In the 1960ties and start 1970ies it was custumary fro EMI distributed album and EP to be marketed with Danish pressed vinyl and labels in a UK E.J. Day Group manufactured picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl is superlustrous and has a touch of sleeve wear only. Side 1 label is perfect, Side 2 label has a single barely noticeable and simply spindletrace ? vinyl is overall easily graded near mint.
Cover has a touch of edge wrinkling and wear ? almost no corners wear ? faint spine sun discolouration ? very nice ? also graded near mint ? hard to find in such neat condition.
