THE VINYL   MINT-

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized early 1st A1 B1 pressing HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL - WITH THE ORIGINAL ORANGE LABELS

IT IS IN SUPERB PLAY CONDITION

This pressing is a superb HEAVYWEIGHT 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.

WE CAN SEE JUST A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE SKATE LINES

 JUST A FEW TINY LIGHT WHISPY LINES  ON BOTH SIDES..(Nothing bothers the play)  NO SCRATCHES OR MARKS. IT REALLY IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE.

On playing through we heard some very tiny light static in the dead opening grooves, and the odd incidental static in other dead spots and thats it! The whole vinyl plays amazing-

THE QUIET SECTIONS SOUND SUPER CLEAN.. No jumps, or pops and the whole record really sounded superb.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION.

THE LABELS   MINT-  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-

Correct DIE CUT first UK issued earliest sleeve  - WITH THE SILVER FACE INSERT & INNER SLEEVE

 THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS!! A STRAIGHT 'OUT THE BOX' EXAMPLE

A VERY HARD SLEEVE TO FIND WITHOUT TEARS AROUND THE DIE CUT CENTRE.

THIS IS  SUPER EXAMPLE, NO DAMAGE TO THE DIE CUT AT ALL!

AND THE SILVER INSERT IS MINT!

NO GRUBBINESS TO THE WHITE CARD

NO TEARS RIPS OR WEAR ANYWHERE!
