THE VINYL EX+ STRONG
As you can see, this vinyl is the 1st UK pressing- Stored from new this LP has seen A COUPLE OF CAREFUL PLAYS - IT IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE
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. 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.
There is some light dust on the vinyl where it has been archived away for so long- a few light tiny whisp lines and a couple of feint hairlines that do not affect the play. (we do not ever auction scratched records)
On playing through there was the tiniest of lead in static and the odd crackle along the way caused by dust settled in the grooves, a professional hoover cleaner could remedy this even higher!
Its a beauty and sounds stunning.
OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT SEE BETTER.
