ALSO FEATURES ON SIDE 1 THE LOWEST MOTHER STAMPER POSSIBLE!  '1G'

Stored from new this LP remains in pristine condition with remarkably very low play and no marks or damage!

This HEAVYWEIGHT pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is little dulling anywhere of any note, and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age. Bearing in mind just how many copies of this were trashed..finding one at all is becoming incredibly hard to do..let a lone one that plays as good as this.

THIS COPY HAS BEEN ARCHIVED !!!

There are some light whisp lines, some tiny VERY FEINT 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..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 hadly a hint of static in the dead grooves, and nothing else!

..IT REALLY PLAYS QUITE STUNNING!

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     strong

Correct  first UK MATT earliest sleeve  - no printer credits

Not a mint sleeve, but still a super example...some very light wear on the edges..but no writing or split seams etc (like we see almost all of the time!!)

The edges have some tiny feint traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

No powdery white ringwear bar - just some very light ring press, with the back sleeve showing some light discolour on the 'ring'

There is some light rub spider lines and discolour over the edging and spine

The spine edge is discoloured (like so many), just a couple of tiny pin spots of rub. some light squash but not too bad at all.

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition, just a hint of feather at the bottom -superb.

We cannot add any more than this! All things considered, a nice sleeve..and the vinyl really is a beauty!

THE INNER SLEEVE   EX+

LYRIC PRINTED  RED CARD ORIGINAL INNER..STUNNING. Just some light ring press..and some very light edge rub on the bottom - it has a name written in tiny letters on the top inside.
