THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized  1st pressing  - Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a handful of VERY CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

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. 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, let alone like this.

a couple of light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines, a couple of the lightest of 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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 nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves..and the tiniest of static in  afew places in the quiet passages.. it sounds as good as we have heard for this 1st press LP !

All those classic quiet passages played superb.. overall this is easily as clean a copy as we have heard for  avery long time indeed.

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

THE SLEEVE     MINT-  SIMPLY PRISTINE.

Correct LAMINATED GATEFOLD  first UK issued earliest sleeve  - with titles on  spine edge

The edges are all super clean with no real traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

THE LAMINATE IS JUST LIKE BRAND NEW..GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR WITH NO DULLING AT ALL

The first sleeves had the lamination go right to the very edge..

No  ringwear or ring 'creasing'  - just the lightest of 'dull' ring press , and all edges are super crisp.

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition -

The spine is superb with no damage or squash and all titles are perfect

A couple of tiny little laminate spider lines over the edges in  a few places..
