THE VINYLS   MINT- PLAY   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the ORIGINAL 1976 HEAVYWEIGHT pressing  - Stored from new this LP SET has seen JUST  A FEW CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

ARCHIVED AWAY FOR DECADES IN  A PRIVATE COLLECTION OF 'REVIEW LPs'

This HEAVYWEIGHT pressing is a superb vinyl SET which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is no dulling anywhere and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP SET 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 like this.

We can see TWO tiny spider lines around the centre holes, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few light whisp lines, a couple of feint hairlines on the live vinyl and thats it-  nothing else!  No scratches or marks.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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 some light lead in static in the dead grooves ...and that was it!

the whole record plays superb. a professional hoover cleaner will remedy the settled dust and make it even better!!!!

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

THE LABELS   MINT-  FLAT MATT LABELS  - they both have the 'tram line ridge' pressing defect.
