THE VINYL   EX+

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1ST 'ARUN' pressing  - Stored from new this LP has seen BELOW AVERAGE PLAYS plays, and remains in SUPER condition everywhere. THE VINYL REALLY IS QUITE SUPERB.

This pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is virtually no dulling anywhere and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age.. We RARELY see a copyof this LP at all, let alone like this.

There are SOME light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole -

There are some whisp lines, a couple of the lightest of hairlines and thats it-  nothing else! No scratches or marks to spoil the play

 Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard SOME lead in static in the dead grooves....some light static in a few spots during play..and the odd pop in  afew places, but nothing to spoil the play , no jumps or sticks & overall this is a cracking copy.

The quiet passages sound really superb..only a few light static crackles in a few spots..a professional hoover cleaner could remedy this back to a higher grade we feel, as this would get out the deeper dust particles in the grooves...

A very rare record to see at all these days in this earliest press..

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