THE VINYL   EX STRONG  

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1978 FIRST PICTURE DISC pressing with the DIE CUT SLEEVE  - Stored from new this LP has seen BELOW AVERAGE of plays only, and remains in SUPER CONDITION.

BEARING IN MIND A FEW FACTORS WITH THESE DISCS WE HAVE FOUND: 

THESE KISS PICTURE DISCS DO SUFFER SOME BACKGROUND NOISE OF SORTS (as many PDs did from this era)

Also, the discs yellowed easy, and the sleeves were a terror to keep in any condition at all.. so with saying that this copy is a cracker!!

The picture within the clear vinyl sandwich (thats how they were made folks!) has yellowed only slightly, way way better than most we see all these years later.. most we see, especially the Ace disc are always terribly yellow and discoloured. THIS ONE IS QUITE SUPERB, NOT WHITE BUT NEAR AS DAMN IT!

The play quality is really good here- yes it has the typical background 'light' static that picture discs carried, and some very light rumble, but overall a cracker and an enjoyable listen.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION.

THE LABELS   NONE!

THE SLEEVE     EX STRONG

Correct  FLAT MATT  DIE CUT SLEEVE  - None of the PDs carried the piosters or merch inserts, in case you wondered.. if yuo see one with them, they have been put in 'after market'.. guaranteed.

Printed by - UN CREDITED

 This is in super condition with hardly any wear at all. The black matt finish  being so hard to keep from wear- this ahs some light edge rub and afew white spider lines.

the die cut is super sharp with no tears or rips or doggy rubb!

No powdery white ringwear - some very light ring press on the back, and all edges are super crisp.

The open edge remains in sharp condition -just the odd spot of feathering.
