The lyrics themselves are printed across the centre of the gatefold. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an item that defines 'rare'.

It shows light scuffing and a few hairlines throughout; in the quieter sections during playback some low surface noise and a few light 'clicks' can be detected. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, this is a fair copy, an ideal collection filler \u0026amp; play copy at an advantageous price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide One\u003cbr\u003e1.
