THE VINYL   MINT- PLAY    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  1//1 WWA 1973  PRESSING- Stored from new this LP remains in pristine PLAY CONDITION

THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED FROM NEW AND HAS HAD AT BEST TWO PLAYS- INCREDIBLY.

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.

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines-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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..

We could see hardly a sign of any spider lines around the centre hole-

On playing through we heard nothing in the dead grooves bar the tiniest of static in the dead grooves...no unwanted noises or pops/clicks.

It was a stunning listen and overall we dobt you'd hear better for this amazing FIRST PRESSING.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST !! AS GOOD AS WE HAVE EVER SEEN

THE LABELS   MINT- 

FLAT MATT LABELS WITH CORRECT SILVER 'WWA' LOGO, LATER PRESSES HAD THE LOGO IN WHITE.

THE SLEEVE     MINT- STRONG    BEST SLEEVE

Correct ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION GATEFOLD SLEEVE  & INNER SLEEVE

PRINTER CREDITS:  NONE

No black rim on the gatefold, and this is the 'one tab' earliest design.

MATT FINISH WITH NO PRINTER CREDITS ON THE BACK- (Later sleeves had the printers name added)

Silver lettering on centre labels (later presses were white & had the WWA number added above the centre hole)

 This is in SUPERB condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean.

EASILY AS GOOD AS WE HAVE EVER SEEN

The edges are all super clean with NO rub on the edges of any note, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

THE BLACK INKS ARE MAGNIFICENT..

No powdery white ringwear - OR ring press, and all edges are super crisp.

The tiniest of tip rub , but no spider lines.

The white spine edge is totally unmarked with no wear, or damage.

NOW!! the open out of the gatefold is astonishing. We cannot add any more than this! ITS A BEAUTY! TOTALLY 100% MINT.. 

Overall a real cracker for this rare first edition sleeve.

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT- STRONG  

PAPER LYRIC INNER..ABSOLUTELY STUNNING- A FEW FEINT CREASES BUT OVERALL WE HAVE NEVER SEEN AN INNER FOR THIS LP AS GOOD AS THIS.. IT IS A BEAUTY.
