Jethro Tull Stand Up 1st Island Black Block UK Press
Cat No. ILPS 9103 Island Black Block Labels
Original 1st issue for this label variation. There is general wear and tear with age on both the cover and vinyl. The vinyl is playable and plays through without skips or jumps. There is some interference in the form of some background crackle, ticks and pops but amazingly this is very enjoyable and very collectable copy.

The Vinyl
This is the original thick heavier chunky slab of vinyl only found like this on the earliest pressings. On visual inspection there are some very light marks/scratches/scuffs. Any other marks that could possibly be seen angled in strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal type. There are no marks that would cause the play to skip but there will be some ticks and pops.
The Audio Quality
I have played the vinyl it is astoundingly clear and vibrant with just minimal interference in the form of light background static in isolated places only and some isolated ticks/clicks here and there overall very enjoyable with no skips or jumps. Please contact me for more information. Play grade at least excellent plus.

The Labels
These are the original ISLAND BLACK BLOCK Labels: UK ISSUE Spidering can be seen angled to the light. This has obviously been played but not overplayed i my opinion.
The Record Sleeve
This is the original plain white record sleeve light creasing, browning, becoming fragile with age only.
The Cover
This is the original UK printed unlaminated gatefold pop up cover. Storage wear is noted in the form of rubbing at the eges and spine and general wear and tear with age. No splits or tears.
