Wishbone Ash - Original 1973 UK MCA label Third Press 6-track LP

Original 1973 UK MCA label 6-track LP, - the third pressing of Torquay, Devon, blues and progressive rock tinged hard rock combos debut album - originally released in 1970.

Vinyl has generic matt finish silver printed, plain black company labels - with large top capital lettering -a label used throughout 1973.

Vinyl is housed in generic company record info inner sleeve, and ultimately in Robert Stace printed matte gatefold sleeve.

Vinyl has the matrix info:
Matrix / Runout (A stamped and also printed on label): 7-224
Matrix / Runout (B stamped and also printed on label): 7-225

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl is bright and shiny? hardly any signs of handling or play? a single or two faint sleeve inflicted marks... the kind that you really have to look for.

Labels are mint? simply just very close to mint vinyl.


Cover is nice - has a touch of wrinkling from edges, superficial creasing and pressure marks - 2 small back top right sticker tears - otherwise extremely nice cover centers.

A single marginal thumbnail wrinkle makes the inner spread near mint.

Seams are very nice - just a touch of wear to lower semas - a little pressure to the otherwise easily readable spine - very marginal corners rubbing or denting - overall a simply very nice cover - graded upper VG+.
