THE VINYL   EX STRONG  SUPERB PLAY

As you can see, this vinyl is the EARLIEST 70s 'GRAMOPHONE RIM' pressing  WITH NO 'EMI BOX' LOGO ON THE CENTRE LABELS-

Stored from new this LP has seen WELL below average plays only, and remains in superb condition everywhere.

IT REALLY IS QUITE AMAZING. AND SOUNDS AWESOME.

This pressing is a superb HEAVYWEIGHT 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, so rarely do we see a copy at all like this. SUPER SMOOTH THICK VINYL.

We can see a few tiny spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few light whisp lines, and  afew light hairlines and thats it-  nothing else!  No scratches or marks.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN AMAZING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard some light lead in static in the dead grooves and the odd static crackle along the way as you may expect from a vinyl like this -there are no jumps skips or pops at all ...the whole record plays superb.

'CHILD IN TIME' WAS SUPERB, with just the tiniest od static in the intro

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