THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1st UK pressing with the STAMPED A1 B1 MATRIX NUMBERS -Stored and remains in pristine condition everywhere. The best example we have seen. This LP rarely surfaces, and is very hard to find on vinyl with the first matrix.

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.

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE..STUNNING!

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

The tiniest of lead in static before the first track plays.. It sounds superb. The whole LP plays and sounds as good as you could wish for.

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

THE LABELS   MINT  SCISSOR LABELS

THE SLEEVE     EX+  RARE FIRST SLEEVE WITH SCISSORS AND PURPLE PRINTED INSIDE CARD. 

Correct LOW GLOSS first issued 1982 earliest sleeve  -by 'Gothic Press'.  With the square spine, and the inside of the actual card printed ..most sleeves are plain white..

Archived from new, its a superb example.

There is a very very light hairline crease on the sleeve, down the front and back -visible when the light hits it, it is nothing to bad we fel. and all the inks and colours are still 100%

There are a couple of tiny light hairline indents of around 2" on the back in a couple of spots too.

The edges are all super clean with no traces of rubbing, just a couple of tiny spots in a couple of places , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

No powdery white ringwear or even ring press of any note other than at the bottom of the front sleeve which is typical of even new sleeves!

 All edges are super crisp, and there are no dinks at all..justr a couple of light spider lines over the edges

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition with not a hint of handling. The inside scissors and colour are perfect.

The spine edge is super clean, no rubbing , only a couple of tiny little squash spots barely worth mentioning!

We cannot add any more than this! it is simply so rare to see..and this is a beauty..the colours are gleaming like the day it was printed.

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS IS A SUPERB COPY FOR ANY COLLECTION..

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-

Original lyric inner sleeve glossy paper with thumb groove which has no feathering or rips, no scissoring -some very light ring press.

Vinyl protected by a further poly lined black inner sleeve
