FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes – the 1975 UK first edition on Deram (SML 1119).

What does “cut-out” mean?
Cut-out sleeves were marked by the trade as remaindered stock, usually with a punch hole, a notch or a clipped corner. The record itself is not affected.

What does media NM- / sleeve VG mean?
Media NM-: the record is near mint minus – very close to new, barely any signs of use. Sleeve VG: very good – more noticeable signs of use. Full details of how we grade are on our Vinyl Grading page.
