THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1st 1972 UK pressing 

ON THE BUFF COLOURED 'PROBE' LABEL (Later copies were on ABC) THIS IS A REAL RARITY TO SEE!

STORED SINCE 1972 COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE TOO.

- Stored from new this LP has seen a couple of plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

This  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.

There are COUPLE OF TINY light spider lines around the centre hole, but  no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are some whisp lines, and a couple of light hairlines that do not sound - and thats it-  nothing else!  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves and the odd static along the way in a few places -nothing to worry over - NO jumps skips pops or distortion..it sounds like new as it could be!

A professional hoover clean will remedy the dust and any anomolies..it really is a cracking vinyl this.

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