Locked away since the 70s. The LP has been carefully cleaned on  our high end cleaning machine and it has come up lovely! A COUPLE OF TINY SPINDLE SKATE LINES -  LABELS ARE  PRISTINE VINYL HAS SEEN JUST A FEW VERY CAREFUL PLAYS ONLY !! BARELY  A HINT OF WHISP  NO SCRATCHES OR MARKS Notorious for crackle during the very quiet passages, finding a copy totally free from noise is so hard these days- This copy has some very feint crackle in just a couple of incidental spots during 'prophet song' & 'Love of my life'- A couple of tiny crackles in  a couple of other spots but overall this is a wonderful listen, and as a 'Factory Sample' making it an even more desirable example- 
condition SLEEVE:  MINT-   OUT THE BOX  OUTSTANDING! MATT ORIGINAL TRIDENT 1st edition  'Narrow spine' GATEFOLD SLEEVE The Queen crest is embossed an shows no 'Queen productions' credit on bottom left as later copies had post 1976 - This is the EARLIEST SLEEVE YOU CAN FIND.  THE SLEEVE REMAINS WONDERFULLY ' CREAM WHITE' WITH NO DISCOLOURATION NO  RING PRESS NO RINGWEAR!

OVERALL THIS IS A BEAUTY... SO HARD TO FIND THIS GOOD..


Please note:  WHEN WE SAY 'ORIGINAL VINYL' , IT MEANS IT IS AN ORIGINAL ISSUE PRESSING FROM BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THE LP WAS RELEASED.  IT IS NOT A 2000 /2010 RE-PRESSING STYLE VINYL THAT IS BECOMING EVER MORE POPULAR AS RECORDS GET RE-ISSUED.
