THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1st UK pressing with the MATT 'LIBERTY' LABELS -Stored and remains in pristine condition everywhere. The best example we have seen.

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.

A couple of tiny spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines - and one hairline across tracks 4/5 side one..nothing sounds!-  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Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION. The tiniest of lead in static before the first track plays.. It sounds superb. THE WHOLE LP PLAYS AMAZING.

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

THE LABELS   MINT  ALBUM ARTWORK 'LIBERTY' LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-   RARE FIRST SLEEVE WITH ORANGE PRINTED INSIDE CARD. 

Correct LOW GLOSS first issued 1979 earliest sleeve  -by 'Gothic Press'.  With the 'proud wide' spine, and the inside of the actual card printed in orange..most sleeves are plain white..

THICK CARD VERSION..Much thicker than later 80s pressings.

Also later sleeves were the typical glossier late 70s/80s design with rounded spine and no colour inside.

 This is in simply incredible condition, you will not see better than this we feel!

The edges are all super clean with no traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

No powdery white ringwear or even- the feintest of ring press only.

immaculate sharp condition with not a hint of handling. no corner dinks.

The spine edge is totally unmarked with no squash or wear! This type of square spine is typical of these first edition sleeves, and all legends are perfectly readable, no rub or spider lines at all. (Later printed sleeves would have a rounded smaller spine.)

A couple of tiny spider lines on the spine edge, and across the back sleeve bottom seam and thats all

We cannot add any more than this! it is simply 'out the box' condition

    THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT

Original lyric inner sleeve glossy paper, no scissoring

Vinyl protected by a further poly lined black inner sleeve
