THE VINYL   EX+   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  1st 11BILBO BOPPA pressing with the etchings on both sides

Stored from new this LP has seen A HANDFUL of plays only,   and remains in superb condition everywhere.

IT PLAYS STUNNING...

This pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. Some very light dulling in a few spots..nothing affects the sound at all!

a couple of spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few light whisp lines where ther vinyl has slid from that card inner , 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..

On playing through we heard nothing  in the dead grooves bar the tiniest slight static ...it sounds like new as it could be!

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