We play through most of the records, unless the item is clearly mint, or sealed..in which case we don't play them, thus maintaining their 'unplayed' status!  Obviously with some of these rare items there will be the odd 'anomoly' along the way , the odd little static pop or lead in 'sizzle' for a split second.. nothing is perfect we find! all systems differ, but we aim to describe these as accurately as possible for you.... PLEASE ENJOY THIS ITEM YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT..

THE VINYL   MINT   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  ORIGINAL RSO  LABEL  pressing- Stored from new this LP has seen ONE PLAY only, and remains in pristine AS NEW condition everywhere.

It has been archived from new until now- an immaculate vinyl!

COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE

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.

ONE spider line around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There is barely a hint of any fine whisp lines, and thats it-  nothing else!  Just 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 nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves..it sounds like new as it could be!  a stunning example...and as good as we have auctioned ever.

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