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.

There is one light spider line around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few whisp lines,  and thats it-  nothing else..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard nothing  in the dead grooves....easily as clean a copy as we have EVER heard.

The quiet passages sound really superb..

A very rare record to see at all these days..

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

THE SLEEVE     MINT-

 This is in SUPERB condition, THE FIRST PRINT OF THIS CLASSIC LP SLEEVE.

NO rub on the edges or on the gold foil lettering (where many copies have rub)!

Asides from two small spider lines on the spine, one is a pinch, there is nothing on this sleeve that shows any wear at all

The inside gatefold is MINT!!!

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT- 

CORRECT 1st ISSUE YELLOW TEXTURED INNER WITH ROUNDED CORNERS AND 'EMA 787' PRINTED
