THE VINYL   MINT-    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the FIRST GREEN LABEL RE-ISSUE  STAMPED MATRIX  pressing..- Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a handful of VERY CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. THE VINYL REALLY IS QUITE SUPERB.

NO SPINDLE SKATE AND BARELY A HINT OF WHISP ON THE VINYL-

EASILY THE BEST COPY WE HAVE EVER AUCTIONED!

This pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is virtually 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.

On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves & leading into the opening track of each side....some light static in a few spots during play..but overall this is easily as clean a copy as we have heard.

The quiet passages sound really superb..AS GOOD A COPY AS WE HAVE EVER AUCTIONED!

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

THE LABELS   MINT- 

THE SLEEVE     MINT-  INCREDIBLE SLEEVE!!!!
