Comes housed in the first edition textured gatefold picture sleeve with the '1971' copyright date inside RIGHT [second issues were printed '1972'], complete with the often missing all-blue inner. This unusual copy has the lyric text printed upside down - or rather it was placed upside doen, and must have slipped through any quality control test! Being non laminated, the cover has some edge scuffing with a few paper marks inside & out with light edgewear - the sleeve is Very Good & the print remains clearly legible including along the spine. The vinyl shows a few light marks/scuffs, with some light hiss/pops in the quieter passages, mainly to Side 1 K44128)#Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
