THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

A superb first pressing vinyl which has been archived away since 1976, the vinyl remains in stunning condition, and sounds amazing.

This first 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.

Just a few light spider lines around the centre hole

AND STILL SOME SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE HOLE!

The vinyl has been played a HANDFUL of very careful times, and there are no signs of wear or marks anywhere on the vinyl- it is quite astonishing.

The sonic sound of it really is incredible. We heardthe tiniest of lead in static of any note, the tiniest of static in a couple of places along the way,  yes.. It sounds superb. NO SKIPS OR JUMPS.

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

THE LABELS   MINT-  MAD HATTER LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT  

RARE FIRST FLAT MATT 'TEXTURED' SLEEVE with INSERT SHEET

LATER SLEEVES WERE GLOSSY FINISH.

THIS IS A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND WITHOUT WEAR AND SCUFFING BUT THIS ONE IS STUNNING

The edges are all super clean with just a couple of tiny spots of  rub , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

No powdery white ringwear - barely a trace of ring press of any note, and all edges are super crisp.

The Matt finish normally a terror for bad grubby marks and scuffing , in this isntance the sleeve remains pristine with no grubby marks or wear at all.

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition.

The spine edge is totally unmarked with no squash or wear!

We cannot add any more than this! it is simply 'out the box' condition
