THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the ORIGINAL UK 1st pressing  with the original labels..-NOT A RE-ISSUE FROM THE MID 80s

 Stored from new this LP has seen possibly  a couple of  plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. THE VINYL REALLY IS QUITE SUPERB.

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.

There are a couple of light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few whisp lines, a couple of the lightest of hairlines 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard pretty much nothing at all!

Possibly the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves ... overall this is easily as clean a copy as we have heard.

A very rare record to see at all these days..

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