THE VINYL   EX+ STRONG  INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the FIRST PYE -1 -1  pressing- Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a couple of plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

NOTED FOR THE TRANSLUCENT RED COLOUR AS IN ALL FIRST RUNS OF THESE UK RE-ISSUED KISS LPs..later copies are solid black

ALSO- Note these centre labels have no 'Love Gun' design in the middle which is on all the PYE releases..or so we thought!  Everything else here maps out to be as the correct release, but perhaps the design was omitted from some of the labels as a printing error?

Further error on this sleeve you will see is the 'upside' down spine titles too...

making this LP a rather rare oddity, and one in fantastic condition 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. 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.

ONE light spider line around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE HOLE

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines, 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..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..the odd dust pop in a few places only, and it really sounds superb and as good as we have heard.

a professional hoover cleaner will no doubt remedy this to even higher standard..

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS  with the afformentioned 'love gun' design omitted.

THE SLEEVE     EX+

Correct  first UK issued earliest GLOSS 'PYE' sleeve  -with the SQUARE THIN spine.

Printed by  -   UN CREDITED

 This is in SUPERB condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean.

The edges are all super clean with just the odd spot  of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

No powdery white ringwear - some very light ring press, and all edges are super crisp.

SOME SMALL TIP RUB

A couple of tiny light thumb creases on front

The spine edge is totally unmarked with no wear, just a couple of tiny spider lines

The open edge has a few light signs of feathering and some light rub on the top/bottom  tip -

We cannot add any more than this! ITS A BEAUTY!

PLAIN WHITE PAT PRINTED SLEEVE  ..NO SPLITS..SUPERB
