THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1ST 1976 pressing  - Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a handful of VERY CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. THE VINYL REALLY IS CLOSE TO MINT.

This pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is some light dulling  and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age. We are seing fewer and fewer copies of this LP on vinyl- most were pressed on CD , so rarely do we see a copy at all, let alone like this.

A couple of light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few whisp lines, a couple of the lightest of hairlines 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves....some light static in a few spots during play..but overall this is easily as clean a copy as we have heard.

A very rare record to see at all these days..

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

THE LABELS   MINT-  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     EX STRONG 

Correct MATT  UK issued FIRST EDITION sleeve  - with inner sleeve & THE RARE POSTER

Yes it is here, these 36" x 24" posters are so rare as only the very first run had them inside..nowadays they are like gold dust! This one is never displayed and perfect (it does have that one thin hairline on one panel which most had, it was done on manufacturing)
