THE VINYL   EX VISUALLY   BUT  PLAYS EX+

As you can see, this vinyl is the ORIGINAL  DECCA  pressing with the BLUE Labels - Stored from new this LP has seen BELOW AVERAGE plays, and remains a stunning listen.

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

a few light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are some whisp lines, a couple of the lightest of hairlines and a couple of very feint surface marks, BUT...Nothing here affects the play and it sounds superb!

 On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves..it sounds as good as we have heard for this classic release! Very rare to see this vinyl in such condition- and check this sleeve...

A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION.
