THE VINYL   MINT-  

As you can see, this vinyl is the  ORIGINAL 1st 1981 UK  HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL  PRESS

Stored from new this LP appears at very best it has seen A COUPLE OF PLAYS only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

This 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.

ONE spider line around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

There is barely any whisp lines, & no marks or signs of wear and thats it-  nothing else! 

SOME SETTLED DUST ON THE VINYL WHICH COULD BENEFIT A HOOVER CLEAN TO GET THIS VINYL PRETY MUCH LIKE NEW!

On playing through we heard the feintest of lead in static  - nothing to spoil the listening pleasure at all..We feel this is easily as clean as we have heard for this LP.

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