THE VINYL MINT INCREDIBLE CONDITION
As you can see, this vinyl is the ORIGINAL UK PRESSING pressing -NOT A EUROPEAN COPY
Stored from new this LP has seen one play POSSIBLY Two!! , and remains in pristine condition everywhere. The best example we have seen!!
This first pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is no dulling anywhere and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age. The edges are silky smooth, typical of these vintage pressings. We are seing fewer and fewer copies of this LP, so rarely do we see a copy at all, let alone like this.
One tiny spider line around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.
There is barely a hint of any whisp lines & thats it- nothing else! There is a few light dust flecs on the vinyl where the LP has not been outside the sleeve for decades- Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.
On playing through there was hardly a hint of any lead in static, and no pops, skips or unwanted noises anywhere..a A STUNNING listen.
OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT SEE BETTER.
THE LABELS MINT FLAT MATT LABELS
THE SLEEVE MINT- IMMACULATE
Correct UK LOW GLOSS FINISH SLEEVE first issued earliest sleeve with SQUARE SPINE

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition with no feathering .
