THE VINYL   MINT-  SUPERB CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1st UK 1976 pressing -Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a handful of careful plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

THE VINYL REALLY PLAYS STUNNING.

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. 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 couple of tiny visible spider lines around the centre & no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are  a few light whisp lines and a couple of light hairlines - and thats it-  nothing else!  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

ON LISTENING THROUGH IT SOUNDED SUPERB WITH JUST THE FEINTEST LEAD IN STATIC - all those quiet passages were fantastic, and this is EASILY as clean copy as we have ever had here.

 The whole LP is simply incredible..IT IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE, AND AS GOOD AS WE HAVE AUCTIONED.

ONE FOR ANY FINALY UPGRADE COLLECTION.
