THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly sought after original UK pressing - Stored from new this LP has seen what appears to be NO PLAY AT ALL!

Quite incrediblty this remains in pristine condition everywhere.

THE VINYL REALLY IS CLOSE TO MINT.

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 &  rarely do we see a copy at all, let alone like this.

There are NO spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE!!

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines,  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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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....some light static in a few spots during play..but 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.

THE LABELS   MINT-  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-   STUNNING 

Correct FLAT MATT UK issued sleeve  - with THIN SPINE AND CARD INNER.

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

The edges are all super clean with NO traces of rub on the edges , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition LIKE BRAND NEW!  This one is immaculate EVERYWHERE .

Just the lightest of ring rub on the top front and back panel..nothing to worry over

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition -like brand new.

The spine leans over as most copies did due to the 'thin' design. Just the tineist of tip rub and a few tiny spider lines over the edges.
