THE VINYL   MINT- PLAY  

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized  1974 ORIGINAL pressing - 

Stored from new this LP has seen JUST  A FEW VERY CAREFUL PLAYS ONLY - 

Just one example from this staggering collection we are offering..

This superb vinyl  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 rarely see  this LP, &never quite as good as this one!

A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES around centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are  a few whisp lines, and a couple of very feint hairlines on side one, that do not sound at all!!! 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Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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 OF ANY NOTE  in the dead grooves..Possibly the lightest static in the dead vinyl.  NO JUMPS OR STICKS

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

No powdery white ringwear - The feintest of ring press, and all edges are super crisp.

THE LAMINATION IS GLEAMING LIKE A MIRROR WITH NO DULLING.

NO TIP RUB - AND JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE FEATHER SPOTS ON THE OPEN EDGE WHERE THE LAMINATION ENDS

 The spine edge is totally unmarked with no wear,  and leans slightly.
