THE VINYLS   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1ST 1977 'MELYS' press- Stored from new this LP has seen TWO CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. THE VINYLS REALLY ARE AS CLOSE TO MINT.

This pressing is a superb vinyl SET 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.

ONE TINY LITTLE light spider line around the centre holes, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLES!!

BOTH VINYLS REALLY ARE STUNNING , CLEAN..AND PLAY AMAZING.

There is barely a hint of any 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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 nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves....AND thats about it..no bad noise, jumps clicks or distortion.. 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.
