THE VINYL   MINT-  SUPERB CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1st UK RIVA pressing -Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a couple of careful plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

THE VINYL REALLY IS LIKE NEW..AND HAS BEEN STORED SINCE 1978 SO THERE ARE A FEW TINY DUST FLECS ON THE VINYL Etc.. A professional hoover clean could remedy this back to MINT!

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. 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.

No visible spider lines around the centre & no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines - A light hairline on side one that does not sound and thats it-  nothing else!  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

ON LISTENING THROUGH IT SOUNDED SUPERB WITH JUST THE FEINTEST LEAD IN STATIC AND THE ODD STATIC POP ON THE PLAY..CAUSED BY THE DUST THAT HAS SETTLED ON THE GROOVES..

IT IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE, AND AS GOOD AS WE HAVE AUCTIONED.

THE LABELS   MINT-  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-    'TIME CAPSULE COPY'

Correct  UK  1st EDITION LOW GLOSS FINISH SLEEVE  first issued earliest sleeve with SQUARE SPINE

by GARROD & LOFTHOUSE

This is straight out the box from  1978 incredible condition , we do not auction any sleeves that we deem to have 'wear' so rest assured you are looking at a sleeve of stunning condition..

The finish remains in pristine MINT condition everywhere!

The edges are all super clean with  no traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition. This sleeve which is so hard to preserve without wear has clearly been stored away for decades!

A couple of tiny tiny spider lines on the edges but nothing to really see here, just the tiniest of tip rub.

No powdery white ringwear or even ring press of any note, and all edges are super crisp.

NO edge rub of any note !

THE GATEFOLD DOES NOT FALL ANYWHERE NEAR FLAT (see pic)

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition with not a hint of handling
