THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 111 MOTHER STAMPER PRESS   - Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a couple of plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

This  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.

a couple of light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines, a couple of tiny feint hairlines 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard some light lead in static and some in the dead grooves..some fine static in a  few places-  THE WHOLE LP PLAYS WITH NO JUMPS SKIPS OR DISTORTION..A BEAUTY.

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT -

Correct LOW GLOSS  first UK issued earliest TOP LOADER sleeve  -with SUPER SQUARE SPINE (not a later SIDE OPENER  like most copies, these ones are the first edition)

Printed by - uncredited

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ..NO DAMAGE OR WEAR AT ALL

This is in simply incredible condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean.

Just some fine spots of rub on the extreme edge a couple of tiny little spider lines, and two tiny spots of gloss 'lift' where the price sticker was. One tiny dink bottom left

all this is very very incidental..the sleeve is a stunner.

Open edge like new, spine is super sharp, no squash just a few spots of light rub.

STUNNING.. We cannot add any more than this! ITS A BEAUTY!

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT -

CARD LYRIC INNER  ORIGINAL - some very very feint edge rub in a few spots.. no splits.
