THE VINYL   EX+ STRONG   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the early mid 70s pressing  - Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a handful of VERY CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. THE VINYL REALLY IS QUITE SUPERB.

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

There are SOME light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever just a little shiny around the hole itself.

There are some whisp lines, a couple of the lightest of hairlines and thats it-  nothing else! No scratches or marks to spoil the play

 Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves....some light static in a few spots during play..but overall this is easily as clean a copy as we have heard.

The quiet passages sound really superb..only a few light static crackles in a few spots..a professional hoover cleaner could remedy this back to a higher grade we feel.

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 LABELS   MINT- 1ST EDITION FLAT MATT LABELS with logo- later presses had no logo,.

THE SLEEVE     MINT -  INCREDIBLE CONDITION. 

Correct FLAT MATT GATEFOLD UK issued sleeve  - with STAPLED BOOKLET SPINE AND BRAILLE ON THE BACK -Only the first sleeves had the braille included..and later presses had no stapled book..it was loose inside.

Printer credit-  'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE'

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

The edges are all super clean with virtually NO traces of rub on the edges AT ALL! just some tiny tip rub

THE WHOLE SLEEVE IS AS GOOD AS WE HAVE EVER SEEN.

 PLUS all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition LIKE BRAND NEW!

some tiny spider lines on the edge and spine only and some light seam press! there is some light ring press on the back too and a couple of tiny incidental thumb creases.

The braille spots are all 100% - remaining black, with no rub (very rare to see this, most are rubbed white!)

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition -

The spine is super and perfect with no dinks -it leans slightly as most copies did.

AND the open out of the gatefold is absolutely like new ..totally pristine

THE BOOKLET ATTACHED IS STUNNING.

WE CANNOT SAY MORE THAN THIS REALLY IS QUITE SPECTACULAR.
