THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1st 1986 '1 1' mother stamper pressing with the 'YUM YUM' etchings

- Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a couple of plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

IT REALLY IS AN IMMACULATE ARCHIVED VINYL

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.

NO spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.#

SOME SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines, 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..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 the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves..it sounds like new as it could be!

OVERALL THIS IS A TIME CAPSULE VINYL.

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE    EX+

Correct  first UK issued earliest MATT TEXTURED sleeve  -with the proud spine.. & card inner sleeve

Printed by  -   UN CREDITED

 This is in SUPERB condition, with the white finish virtually till like new.

Most copies are the glossy round spine typical 80S sleeves..these first edition matt ones are super rare..there is a very light texture to the finish too

The edges are all super clean with just the tiniest of traces of tip rub, and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

Just  couple of tiny corner dinks.

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

A few tiny spider lines over the edges and spine

 The spine edge is totally unmarked with no wear or squash. Some tiny little crinkle lines which look like part of the sleeve.

The open edge remains in super sharp condition with just a tiny little 'nick' near the top and a small corner 'dink'

Some very light discolour on the seam edges.

We cannot add any more than this! ITS A BEAUTY!

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT 

THICK CARD LYRIC INNER..NO DAMAGE OR WEAR AT ALL.
