The Artistics
Hi yes found it. Most of these are trashed!! My copy has superficial very light surface marks and just a light bit of label rub wear so I’d put a conservative VG++ to EX on it. I’ve played it in headphones and it plays EX+ to M-. Okeh sleeve too (a bit warn). See pics There is a chancer on Discogs with a M- copy over £200 (not sold!!). The last M- copy sold for £120 and VGs are selling for £60-£70 so il be looking for £100 + inc tracked/ insured UK post. Let me know as now I have it out I’ll probably be listing is soon.
