Cool - have been looking for another sealed copy of this for half of ever...
Well, since i realised that there was an art to collecting records - as i bought a copy from WH Smith in Harrogate (god knows why it was there) before i had all of the LPs (let alone most of the singles), & then proceeded to cut the handles off to make a cushion...
Okay, i managed to find an opened replacement a few years back, but... ...just not the same & whilst it's a little on the expensive side...

my copy of the greek bag was never sealed. it came to my local shop as just the bag with the records inside. it was all mint though. the records weren't sealed either...how about everyone else?? was your copy sealed when you got it?
lots of times shops would use their own shrink wrap machine to seal records that weren't sealed. 12 inches from the uk were never sealed when i got them, but i've seen lots of stores selling them wrapped...that was really common in the usa in the 80s.
>>then proceeded to cut the handles off to make a cushion
so that would be a pretty cool cushion! did you take it to football games or concerts??! or just carry it to use on the tube?

The 1st copy i had was sealed, as well as having the same printed sheet (which vanished at some point) - if i'm remembering correctly, it was encased in thick plastic (pvc?) though can double check when this new one arrives. The records weren't individually sealed though afaik - & was really f'd off at the time with having it having the wrong version of SAP in there once i'd gotten home... thought i'd been ripped off... Mmmmm... Living, at the time, in a small village near Cambridge then there weren't exactly tubes to take it on... ...& it was actually a really shonky cushion & hugely regretted doing it subsequently... ...okay i was 12 or 13 at the time so maybe it's about time i stopped punishing myself - although a decent nightly punishing can be kind of fun so maybe i won't let myself off quite yet...

I got mine @ a record show in the mid80s. Not sealed. I would have to see what condition it is in. I haven't really looked @ it for uhm...years. It is put away along with most of the pre-Liberty stuff.

Oh, and I didn't even realize about the long version. I have never played mine.
