THE VINYL   MINT    INCREDIBLE  UNPLAYED CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  ORIGINAL 1976 pressing- (not a later re-issue 'price press') Stored from new this LP has seen NO PLAY, stored as a file copy and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

IT IS JUST IMMACULATE, WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A COPY THIS GOOD SINCE THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED!

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.

cut to the chase..the vinyl is as new..

A FEW TINY FEINT WHISP LINES POSSIBLY WHERE THE VINYL SLID FROM THE POLY LINER..BUT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF THIS RECORD BEING HANDLED OR PLAYED!

IT IS JUST IMMACULATE!

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