THE VINYL   EX+     Side 2 EX

As you can see, this vinyl is the  ORIGINAL  EARLIEST UK  PRESS WITH 111 MOTHER STAMPERS ON BOTH SIDES!

Stored from new this LP appears at very best it has seen ONE/TWO PLAYS only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

STRAIGHT OUT THE BOX  COPY.

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.

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

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

There is barely any whisp lines, & no marks or signs of wear and thats it-  nothing else! 

On playing through we heard the feintest of lead in static and the very ocassional TINY STATIC dust pop ON SIDE ONE - Side TWO had a little more static and this could be down to the faxct it has been stored for so long, a good cleaner could remedy the static we feel, as the grooves look very clean and free from any damage

SUPER RARE TO SEE THE 111 STAMPERS ON BOTH SIDES..MAKING THIS A REAL RARITY.

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