THE VINYLS    MINT-  

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1st DOUBLE ALBUM  pressing- Stored from new this LP has seen A COUPLE OF plays only, and remains in superb condition everywhere.

This set is a superb vinyl edition which only the first run had the free album inside, and the embossed sleeve.

 It 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.

ONE tiny spider line around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few whisp lines and a couple of feint hairlines one ach vinyl, and one tiny little scuff that does not sound.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyls when we slid it for checking..

IT REMAINS IN SUPERB CONDITION.

On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves..A COUPLE of insidental little static crackles along the way - it sounds superb.

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+ 

Correct  first UK issued earliest EMBOSSED LOGO gloss sleeve  -with the square spine & thick inner sleeves

Also the first sleeve carried the sticke top left.

Printed by  -   un credited 

 This is in superb condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean. Most copies we see (on the rare occassion the double LP surfaces)  suffer bad white rub and creasing, and split seams where both Lps have torn through.

NOT THIS ONE!

The edges are all super clean with some fine traces of rub, on the bottom edge and a few spots on the other edges only.  All colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

THE EMBOSSING ON THE LOGO IS IMMACULATE WITH NO RUB.

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

some tiny tip rub &  a couple of tiny spider lines over the edge of the spine -nothing to worry over, hardly noticeable!

 The spine edge is totally unsquashed with no wear.

The open edge remains in sharp condition, just a hint of feathering in a few spots- superb.

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

THICK CARD LYRIC INNERS..NO DAMAGE
