THE VINYL   EX+   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the EARLY 1st UK pressing -Stored from new this LP has seen A HANDFUL OF PLAYS, and remains in superb condition everywhere.

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 handful of light spider lines around the centre hole, but no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

Some surplus wax around the centre hole. 

There is some light whisp and a few light hairlines in  a few places  but nothing that spoils the play and no bad marks or scratches anywhere! The silky vinyl sounds amazing as you would wish for, and only some very light lead in static on the opening grooves.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY COLLECTION. FINDING THESE FIST PRESSES WITH TEH CORRECT FIRST SLEEVE IS BECOMING VERY HARD TO DO.
