THE VINYL   EX+   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly 1st EARLIEST 1971 A1 B1 pressing  -

Stored from new this LP has seen WELL BELOW AVERAGE plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

AND IT REALLY SOUNDS AMAZING!

This HEAVYWEIGHT 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, A FEW LIGHT HAIRLINES and thats it-  nothing else! 

No scratches or marks that spoil the play at all.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, and therefore there are a few little dust specs on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard only some light lead in static in the opening dead grooves ...that was about it1 it is a cracker!

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   EX+  FLAT MATT LABELS   DARK BROWN LETTERING (Not light brown like later presses)
