THE VINYL   STONE MINT   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the EARLIEST UK   -1-1 PRESSING  pressing -NOT A EUROPEAN COPY

Stored from new this LP has seen one play possibly for review purposes then stored !! , and remains in pristine condition everywhere. The best example we have seen. STONE MINT!!

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.

No spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

UNDER A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT YOU CAN SEE - There are a few whisp lines where the LP has slid from the card inner &  thats it-  nothing else!  There are a few light dust flecs on the vinyl where the LP has not been outside the sleeve for decades-  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

Playing it through it has some feint lead i static as you would expect and thats abiout it..it plays 'massive' and outstanding!

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-   IMMACULATE

SUPER RARE EMBOSSED STICKERED ISSUED SLEEVE  

This is straight out the box from  1987 - incredible condition , we do not auction any sleeves that we deem to have 'wear' so rest assured you are looking at a sleeve of stunning condition..

The edges are all super clean with no traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition. This sleeve which is so hard to preserve without wear has clearly been stored away for decades!

THE EMBOSSING IS STUNNING, AND THE STICKER IN PLACE!

No powdery white ringwear or even ring press of any note, and all edges are super crisp.

No egde rub, and there are a few light spider lines over the edges and a few tiny light hairlines on the black back sleeve

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition with not a hint of handling

The spine edge is totally unmarked -no dinks or wear at all.

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS SLEEVE IS  SUPERB CONDITION

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-  

Original LYRIC CARD INNER..Again, only the early copies had this!

PRESS PHOTOS  MINT    

GENUINE 1990 PHOTOS BY GEFFEN, So obviously these were from the following album but both are 100% the real deal and super rare!
