HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL PRESSING - A STUNNIG PLAY

WHERE AS MANY COPIES OF THIS LP SUFER FROM BAD PRESSING NOISES..THIS COPY IS A STUNNER!!!

This pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is virtually 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.

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

There are some fine whisp lines, a few very feint hairlines running with the grooves and thats it-  nothing else!  Just a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..

IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

ON PLAYING THROUGH, BAR THE THE TINIEST OPENING STATIC THERE WAS NOTHING UNWANTED AT ALL.. AND WHEREAS A LOT OF THESE GREEN PRESSINGS HAVE THAT 'SIZZLE' DEFECT, THIS COPY IS AN INCREDIBLE LISTEN..WITH NO SIZZLE AT ALL!

AS GOOD AS WE HAVE HEARD FOR THIS CLASSIC LP.

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT- WOW!!!!!!

ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER SLEEVE WITH THE FOLDED OVER SECTION, AND ALL PAGES OF THE NEWSPAPER ARE MINT, INTACT AND JUST WONDERFUL!

Later sleeves were smaller, and then the fold under was discarded for a textured standard gatefold sleeve.. This one really is a beauty.

Printed by  -GOTHIC PRESS

 This is in simply incredible condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean.

The edges are all super clean with NO spots/traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

no feathering or tatty 'doggy' edges at all.

No powdery white ringwear - NO ring press of any note, and all edges are super crisp.

JUST A COUPLE OF spider lines on the edges of the spine

The tips have some tiny rub only, and the inks are magnificent

There seems to be a slight discolour overall, as the spine is very white in comparison, but really, the sleeve is in such amazing condition this is a super rare example that will hard to be bettered.

Opening out the sleeve and the 'folded under' section, it really is incredible- there is no rub or feathering ion the folded crease -

we suspect this sleeve has remained shut for decades!!!!!  amazing.

All pages are MINT.

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

THE INNER SLEEVE   EX 

'PAT PRINTED'   INNER

THERE ARE NO SPLITS, BUT HAS  DISCOLOUR

OVERALL.. THIS 'THICK AS A BRICK' IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTY.. SO RARE TO FIND A COPY SO CLEAN, OR PLAY SO WELL.. DON'T MISS THIS!!
