THE VINYL   EX STRONG  INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly 1st EARLIEST pressing  - Stored from new this LP has seen BELOW AVERAGE CAREFUL plays only, and for an album trashed by teenagers back in the days of glam rock, finding a playable copy is so rare! finding one this good?...

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 like this.

We can see a few tiny spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few light whisp lines, and a few light hairlines-  nothing else!  No scratches or marks that affect the play.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, and therefore there are a few little dust specs on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

A professional hoover clean could make this even better.

On playing through we heard only some light lead in static in the opening dead grooves ...possibly the odd dust pop which will not sound next time through we doubt.

Yes...the whole record plays quite superb.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT SEE BETTER.

THE LABELS   MINT-  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     EX+

Correct LAMINATED first UK issued earliest sleeve  - with square spine.
