THE VINYL   EX   PLAYS SUPER

As you can see, this vinyl is the  EARLIEST 1st A1 B1 PRESSING- Stored from new this LP remains in pristine AS NEW condition everywhere.

ETCHED MATRIX NUMBERS-  WITH THE PORKY ETCHINGS

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.

*** Noted for the fact the UK hit single 'Rock and roll damnation' was not on the initial pressings of this LP -

AND INSTEAD FEATURES 'COLD HEARTED MAN' ***

..MAKING THIS PRESSING THE RAREST ONE TO FIND..THEY HARDLY EVER COME ROUND ANYMORE. AND IN THIS CONDITION? WOW!

There are some whisp lines, a few light hairlines 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..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 some light static crackle in the dead grooves..barely a hint of any static during play, & it sounds superb some very light crackle in a few quiet spots cause we feel by the dust in the grooves-  No jumps pops or skips.

We feel that a professional hoover cleaner will get rid of the dust settled in the grooves and remedy this to a higher playing standard..

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION.

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-

Correct  first UK issued earliest sleeve  -with the proud spine.
