THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly PRIZED 1st  UK 'PLUM/ORANGE' LABEL  pressing  - Stored from new this LP has seen possibly A COUPLE OF CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

SIMPLY AS GOOD AS IT GETS HERE..

This ORIGINAL 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 TWO TINY spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few light whisp lines, and thats it-  nothing else!  No scratches or marks.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, and therefore there are a few little dust specs on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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 barely the lightest static in the opening dead grooves ...Some tiny feint static in a couple of spots only, and there were no jumps pops or sticks..

Yes...the whole record plays quite superb. TIME CAPSULE!

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