THE VINYLS   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the //1  UK  pressing- Stored from new this LP has seen JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

This 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.

BOTH VINYLS PLAY MAGNIFICENT, AND HAVE HARDLY A TRACE OF STATIC OR CRACKLE ANYWHERE - Some very light whisp on the vinyls.

There is some light dust on the vinyl where it has never been out the sleeve before!

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- 

Correct  first UK issued earliest GATEFOLD sleeve  -with the WIDE spine, BOTH INNERS AND FURTHER POLY PROTECTORS FROM NEW..

Printed by  -   HOWARDS

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

There is no wear at all of any note,

JUST THE TINIEST OF TIP RUB and a tiny couple of rub spots on the bottom edge

Otherwise this really is quite magnificent- the gatefold opening is as new.

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

THE INNER SLEEVES   MINT- 

PHOTO INNERS, Some very light rub spots in a couple of places, no scissorring or damge- both vinyls have been kept in 'WH Smith' poly liners from new!
