THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized UK pressing with the GREEN HARVEST labels -Stored from new this LP has seen BARELY ANY PLAYS AT ALL, 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, and one tiny feint hairline and thats it-  nothing else!  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

It plays amazing, and we heard no pops or crackles at all, and only the tiniest of static in the dead grooves.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT SEE BETTER.

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     EX+ STRONG

Correct FLAT MATT  first UK issued earliest sleeve  -by 'Garrod & Lofthouse'. with EMI credits.  Later sleeves were the typical glossier late 70s/80s design - titles on top and side of spine

A superb sleeve thast is so hard to find in this original print and in this condition -most copies are later printed sleeves with no 'top titles' and a glossier finish..this is that classic EMI/Garrod  matt finish typical of the  early70s.

There is no rub or ring wear and all edges and faces are prisitne with just a few tiny little spider liens over the bottom edge and spine edge

The spine is pristine, no squash or rub.

The open edge has a couple of tiny little dents, and thats about it

One tiny thumb crease on the back open edge side

A STUNNING SLEEVE, AND WE DOUBT WE COULD FIND BETTER!

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-

Thumb scoop , corner cut original inner..THICK CARD WITH NO WHITE RUB, JUST A TINY LITTLE RING ARC AT THE BOTTOM, and a couple of spider lins on the seam. NO SPLIT OR SCISSOR!
