THE VINYL   EX STRONG

As you can see, this vinyl is the  1975 1st  MATRIX PRESSING - RARE!

Stored from new this LP has seen AVERAGE PLAYS , AND IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER JUDAS PRIEST EARLY RELEASE

This pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is little 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.

Some average spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

On playing through there was remarkably hardly any static or crackle at all anywhere- A stunning listen throughout.

Note- it is only 'marred' slightly by a couple of jumps on 'Genocide'  that we heard on our system -maybe a professional hoover cleaner could rid any unwanted ground in dirt that may be causing the jumps, as the vinyl really does look super clean with no scratches evident. It is the cleanest sounding copy we have heard for decades!

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     EX

ORIGINAL GLOSS SLEEVE - PYE MANUFACTURED

Printed by  -   NO CREDIT

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

This sleeve in particular is prone to terrible white scuffing and rub..AND ALSO ITS PRETTY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A COPY AT ALL NOWADAYS.. Even the re-issue 'Hero Hero' is impossible to track down..so these are like gold dust in any condition!

The edges are all super clean with some light traces of rub, and a few little edge nicks on the open edge, and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

No powdery white ringwear - little ring press, and all edges are super crisp-just the tiniest of tip rub

A few tiny spider lines over the edge of the spine & sides.

The spine edge is clean with hardly any squash.

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition -a few tiny dinks as mentioned

We cannot add any more than this! ITS A RARE ONE!

THE INNER SLEEVE   EX+

PAT PRINTED  PAPER ORIGINAL -NO SPLITS OR WEAR AT ALL. A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASES
