THE VINYL   EX STRONG

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized early 1st pressing HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL - It has seen average plays and has sustained no damage or scratches.. very rare to see this kind of LP in any condition!! Glam Rock records are notorious for being trashed by teenagers back in the day..we see hardly any in decent condition, so when they turn up like this..THEY ARE REGARDED AS ANYTHING BETTER THAN 'EX' AS VERY RARE! 

This pressing is a superb HEAVYWEIGHT 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.

SOME AVERAGE SPINDLE SKATE AND A FEW LIGHT HAIRLINES ON BOTH SIDES..BUT NO SCRATCHES THAT AFFECT THE PLAY.

THERE IS EVEN STILL...SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE!!

On playing through we heard some light static in the dead grooves and on a few tracks along the way..A professional hoover clean we feel will remedy this vinyl to a higher condition even! There is possibly some dirt in the grooves, which is removeable.. (we must get one of these hoovers!!! watch this space!)

No jumps, or pops and the whole record really sounded super.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION.

THE LABELS   MINT-  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     EX+

 This is in superb shape, with no tears rips or damage.
