A WORD ABOUT THE SLEEVE. THE VERY FIRST ISSUES OF THIS ALBUM APPEARED WITH A GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE THAT HAD A TUCK IN FLAP WHICH CLOSED OVER THE OPENING EDGE AND KEPT THE RECORD SECURE INSIDE THE SLEEVE. FANTASTIC AND CLEVER IDEA BUT MOST OF THESE FLAPS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO THE CONSTANT REMOVAL AND INSERTION OF THE ALBUM. THE HINGED CARD AREA GETS VERY WEAK, AND THE ACTUAL FLAP IS OFTEN FOUND EITHER BENT OR TORN. SO THIS LOVELY IDEA WAS SCRAPPED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND THE COVER WAS REISSUED WITHOUT THE FLAP. THIS THEN IS THE GENUINE FIRST ISSUE IN SUPERB CONDITION
