THE VINYL   MINT   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE ORIGINAL EURO PRESSING (It was never pressed within the UK, only as a CD-by the late 80s most UK albums were pressed abroad, with the sleeves being printed for the UK)

THIS CAME DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHING HOUSE IN THE UK.. A REAL TREASURE FOR ANY COLLECTION!

THIS LP IS SIMPLY 'STRAIGHT OUT THE BOX' MINT!

The vinyl has been played once and archived and this example remains in pristine condition with just the lightest whisp on the vinyl where it was slid from the inner..a couple of tiny feint hairlines, but nothing to affect the play.

No wear, damage or marks

'Possibly' one very tiny spindle skate line, no wear to the hole -

There is surplus wax around the centre hole

THE VINYL GLEAMS AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED.

On playing, there was just the tiniest of lead in static and the occasional tiny feint staic crackle probably caused by settled dust that is on the vinyl..it really is a stunning listen.

YES.....DON'T MISS THIS!
