THE VINYL   MINT- PLAY    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  EARLIEST //1 //1 LARGE SPIRAL LABEL PRESSING- Stored from new this LP remains in pristine PLAY CONDITION

THIS VINYL AS ALL THE OTHERS WE ARE LISTING PLAYS QUITE SUBLIME.

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 barely a hint of any whisp lines, and a couple of little hairlines that do not sound -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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..

Some light spider lines around the centre hole-

 There is some dust on the vinyl where it has stood for so long unseen since the 70s!

On playing through we heard nothing in the dead grooves bar the tiniest of static in the dead grooves...no unwanted noises or pops/clicks.

It was a stunning listen and overall we dobt you'd hear better for this amazing FIRST PRESSING.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST !!
