THE VINYL   MINT-    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

Finding a copy in this condition is very very hard to do, especially the sleeve as so many are damaged, very few were archived away..this copy is simply a time capsule example

This first 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.

NO spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever. We feel this has had one possible play maximum, then archived

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE

Barely a hint even, of any light whisp across the vinyl!!  it is absolutely stunning..the whole vinyl plays magnificent! Only a couple of incidental tiny feint whispy lines where the vinyl was slid from the inner into a poly sleeve protector..  EASILY as good as any vinyl we have seen of this title..amazing.

Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years ..OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION.

THE LABELS   MINT  MATT  ORIGINAL  labels

THE SLEEVE     MINT    SIMPLY PRISTINE in ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP
