THE VINYL   MINT-    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  1//1 WWA 1973  PRESSING- Stored from new this LP remains in pristine AS NEW condition everywhere.

ARCHIVED FROM NEW WITH BARELY ANY PLAY AT ALL

THIS IS EASILY THE BEST COPY WE HAVE EVER SEEN..PLAYS AMAZING.

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 a couple of little hairlines that do not sound -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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..

NO spider lines around the centre hole-

surplus wax around the hole too

IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION. There is some dust on the vinyl where it has stood for so long untouched!

On playing through we heard nothing in the dead grooves bar the tiniest of static in the dead grooves...it sounds like new as it could be!

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

THE LABELS   MINT 

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

THE SLEEVE     MINT-    WOW!!!!!!

Correct very short lived 'second sleeve'  UK issued GATEFOLD - by WWA

Second sleeves had the following details as far as we have learned.....

It features a WHITE SQUARE spine. (later sleeves were glossier and rounded spine)

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

No printer credits on the whie back sleeve (later ones had the printers added)

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

** Only the first edition sleeve had a textured finish and no 'black frame on the inside gatefold' **

AFTER THESE WWA COPIES WERE DELETED,  THE ALBUM WAS RE-ISSUED ON NEMS.

SO THIS COPY HERE..?

 This is in simply incredible condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean. LIKE NEW.

IT IS PRISTINE AND THE GATEFOLD IS 100% NEW

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

THE BLACK INKS ARE MAGNIFICENT.. NOT A HINT OF WEAR - and just some feint discolour on the white side open edge.

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

The tiniest of tip rub , one tiny dink botom of open edge &  just a couple of spider lines over the edge.

 Amazingly, no spider lines over the spine. 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..It has the small black 'frame edge' which all second sleeves had..only the very first 'textured sleeves had no framed edge'.

EASILY THE BEST COPY WE HAVE EVER AUCTIONED..DO NOT MISS THIS.
