THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1974 UK pressing with the MATT LABELS -Stored from new this LP remains in pristine condition everywhere. The best example we have seen.

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.

THERE IS SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE HOLE-

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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION. We playd this through and it was absolutely MINT..not a sound anywhere.. perhaps the tiniest of lead in static and thats it! just amazing.

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-  SIMPLY PRISTINE.  WOW! WHAT A FIND!

Correct FLAT MATT  first UK issued earliest sleeve with SQUARE SPINE -by 'ROBOR'. with EMI credits.  Later sleeves were the typical glossier late 70s/80s design -

 This is in simply incredible condition, you will not see better than this we feel!

The edges are all super clean with no traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition-the tiniest of edge spider lines in a couple of placesonly.. and perhaps there are a couple of tiny tiny spots of edge rub on the extreme tips

No powdery white ringwear or even ring press of any note, and all edges are super crisp. SO RARE TO SEE THIS SLEEVE WITHOUT WHITE RING WEAR.

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition with no hint of handling

 a couple of feint spider lines over the edge of the spine, ONE HAS MADE A SLIGHT 'PINCH..The spine edge is totally unmarked with no wear -just one litle squash spot.! This type of square spine is typical of these first edition sleeves, and all legends are perfectly readable, no rub or spider lines at all. (Later printed sleeves would have a rounded smaller spine.)

We cannot add any more than this! it is simply 'out the box' condition -finding a copy of WONDERWORLD like this is beyond rare..don't miss this copy!

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS SLEEVE IS JUST SO RARE TO SEE LIKE THIS..AS IS THE VINYL

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT- rare to see this inside

Original  printed card inner with thumb groove and SQUARE corners...no wear or discoloration
