THE VINYL   EX STRONG   

As you can see, this vinyl is the  ORIGINAL 1981 EUROPEAN PRESSING- This was not presed in the UK, and all copies we have seen (albeit rarely these days) are always this General Euro release

WITH THAT AMAZING SLEEVE TOO!

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.

There is some light whisp on the vinyl when held under bright light, a couple of light hairlines that do not sound atand 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..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 tinist static in the dead grooves and the od tiny static along the way..a professional hoover clenaer could remedy this to an even better play!
