THE VINYLS   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  1976  UK VERY FIRST PRESSING-  WITH THE -1 -1 MATRIX ON LP 1

Stored from new this LP SET remains in pristine condition everywhere.

Beautiful thick vinyls in stunning condition.

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.

THIS COPY HAS BEEN ARCHIVED SINCE 1976 AND REMAINS BARELY PLAYED

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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..

On playing through we heard nothing bar some tiny little static in the dead grooves... and a few little dust pops in  afew places that would be easily remedied with a  professional hoover clean.

.it sounds wonderful, no skips sticks or distortion, andf the whole Lp is a classic!

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