THE VINYL EX+   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1985  1st A-1 PRESS LP- Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a HANDFUL of plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. It is quite incredible and it sounds like new!

This superb vinyl  has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is just a couple of small dulll spots, no marks anywhere and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age. We rarely see  this LP in any decent condition, and many were presed with lots of crackle too- a sign of the times back then alas.

We rarely take this LP in due to the bad playing of so many copies we have tried. So.....this one is a real treat!

A few light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are  a few whisp lines, and  afew light hairliens in a couple of places 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN SUPERB CONDITION.

On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves.... In fact its easily as good as we have heard.

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-   STUNNING.

Correct MATT FINISH with LOW 'SPOT' GLOSS  first issued earliest sleeve  - with SQUARE spine.

 This is in simply incredible condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean. This sleeve is incredibly hard to find in any condition, the delicate WHITE inks makes it so hard to protect and store..but this sleeve is quite something!

No powdery white ringwear  OR RING PRESS!

the lightest of tip rub &   The spine edge is totally unmarked with no wear, or squash.
