THE VINYL   EX+ STRONG   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1st 1972 PINK RIM UK PRESSING- Stored from new this LP remains in pristine condition with remarkably very low play and no marks or damage!

This HEAVYWEIGHT pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is little dulling anywhere of any note, and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age. Bearing in mind just how many copies of this were trashed..finding one at all is becoming incredibly hard to do..let a lone one that plays as good as this.

THIS COPY HAS BEEN ARCHIVED !!!

There are some light whisp lines, some tiny 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..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 little static and a few tiny dust pops in the dead grooves.and a few tiny ones along the way nothing to worry over..IT REALLY PLAYS QUITE STUNNING!

A professional hoover clean could bring this back to even higher play quality!

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  first UK MATT earliest sleeve  -WITH PINCHED 'WIDE' SPINE ENDS-Later copies have a much thinner spine and of course, the later labels too.

printer credits: ROBOR

A terror for finding these copies with grubby marks on the white card, and damaged spines..we have unearthed an absolute beauty!

The edges have some tiny feint traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition -There are just a couple of incredibly feint spots of handling..but seriously, this is as WHITE as you could ever wish to see. 

No powdery grubby ringwear  AND just the tiniest sign of ring press.

There are a couple of  spider lines and light seam press on the edging and spine

The VERY WIDE spine edge is superb with no squash, and has the correct pinched ends -it is immaculate

The open edge remains in sharp condition, just a hint of feather  -superb.

some light tip rub on the corners.

The best example we have seen by a mile!

THE INNER SLEEVE   EX+

WHITE PAT PRINTED INNER..NO SPLITS.
