THE VINYL   MINT!!!!!

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly 1st EARLIEST 1972 pressing  -

Stored from new this LP IS IN BREATH TAKING CONDITION. Bearing in mind how many copies were trashed at parties and poor record decks back in the glam rock days this really is one of the most amazing LPs we have ever auctioned

This HEAVYWEIGHT pressing is a super 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 like this.

We can see one spider line 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. 

CUT TO THE CHASE:

THIS LP LOOKS AND PLAYS LIKE BRABND NEW-

AS IF IT CAME FROM THE RECORD STORE ON THE DAY OF RELEASE- !! YES...IT IS THAT GOOD.

A 'STRAIGHT OUT THE BOX' MUSEUM EXAMPLE -  HAT YOU WILL NEVER SEE BETTER.

THE LABELS   MINT-  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-  SIMPLY PRISTINE. 

Correct LAMINATED first UK issued earliest sleeve  - with square  spine.

PRINTER CREDITS -  MacNEILL PRESS   (beware German printed sleeves added to UK vinyls!)

 CUT TO THE CHASE:

Bar a couple of very light laminate lines on the bottom edge, and the lightest of bubbling on the back spine edge, this whole sleeve is like brand new

It gleams like it was printed today! the best sleeve we have ever seen by far.

The lamination still shining like a mirror!

WOW!   THATS ALL WE CAN SAY!

We cannot add any more than this! ITS A MUSEUM EXAMPLE OF THE HIGHEST GRADE

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT

ORIGINAL Pat printed poly lined paper inner.. IMMACULATE AND WHITE AS NEW!
