THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly PRIZED 1975 BLUE VINYL  pressing  with the RVLP MATRIX (Overseas limited pressings were Orange vinyl)

Stored from new this LP has seen possibly A COUPLE OF CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

Please bear in mind as per all coloured vinyls, the sound quality is not as good as black.

THIS PLAYS INCREDIBLE....AS GOOD AS YOU COULD HOPE FOR.

This  BLUE 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. The edges are silky smooth, typical of these vintage pressings.

We can see NO spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE.

There are a few light whisp lines, and thats it-  nothing else!  No scratches or marks.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, and therefore there are a few little dust specs on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard some lightest static in the opening dead grooves a little static in afew spots along the way which is probably the dust that has settled on the stored vinyl!

..THE WHOLE RECORD PLAYED IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION.. ...possibly the odd dust pop which will not sound next time through we doubt.

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

THE SLEEVE    MINT- TIME CAPSULE!
