THE VINYL MINT- INCREDIBLE CONDITION
As you can see, this vinyl is the 1ST 1975 pressing- Stored from new this LP has seen a couple of plays-
STORED AWAY SINCE THEN , IT REALLY IS A SUPERB FIND.
This pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is some slight dulling but 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.
IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING PLAY CONDITION!
There is some light dust on the vinyl where it has never been out the sleeve before!
There are a couple of tiny spider lines around the spindle, and a couple of tiny feint hairlines only..- it sounds and plays incredible with pretty much no noise at all in the dead grooves, hardly the slightest of lead in 'static'..a real beauty.
OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT SEE BETTER.
THE LABELS MINT FLAT MATT LABELS
THE SLEEVE MINT SIMPLY PRISTINE.
Correct first UK issued earliest sleeve -with the proud spine.
Printed by - garrod & lofthouse
This is in simply incredible condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean.
T HERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LITLE SPIDER LINES ON THE EDGE-
THE BALCK INKS ARE SPECTACULAR AND LIKE NEW..
THERE IS NO SQUASH OR WEAR ANYWHERE, AND THE SPINE IS 100% LIKE NEW
THE BEST COPY WE HAVE EVER SEEN.
THERE IS NO WEAR, RING PRESS OF ANY NOTE, AND NO HANDLING SIGNS
We cannot add any more than this! ITS A 'MUSEUM' BEAUTY!
