THE VINYL   MINT    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION   YES UNPLAYED!!!!!!!

Finding a copy in EX condition is very very hard to do, especially the sleeve as so many are damaged, finding a copy UNPLAYED????? WELL, HERE WE HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN UNPLAYED COPY..

THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL ON THE VINYL ....IT IS IN QUITE BREATHTAKING CONDITION- WITHOUT DOUBT THE RAREST SLADE VINYL AUCTION WE HAVE EVER OFFERED..

NO visible feint spider lines around the centre hole, & no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever. Clearly this copy was archived away since 1970- it is quite incredible.

NO light whisp across the vinyl!!  it is absolutely stunning..the whole vinyl is magnificent!

The rich blakc vinyl is glossy and gleams like the day it was pressed..there is not a mark on it.

WITHOUT QUESTION THIS IS A MUSEUM PIECE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.

THE LABELS   MINT  RED LABELS with NO album titles, it simply has each side stating 'SLADE' above the centre hole.

THE SLEEVE     MINT-   SIMPLY PRISTINE. 

This is the earliest 'EJ DAY' sleeve from 1970, they reprinted this soon after the first press and these first sleeves are like gold dust in condition, but like the vinyl, we have here a truly incredible sleeve!

ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, A SLEEVE LIKE THIS HAS TO BE GRADED VERY HIGH AS YOU SIMPLY DON'T SEE THEM!

 The edges are all super clean with no traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition -No powdery white ringwear

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition with no real signs  of handling

Some tiny tip rub on the corners- and a couple of tiny dinks on the 4 corners.

The spine is super clean no rub or squash, only a couple of tiny pin spots of squash i guess- and all titles are pristine.

The front sleeve has the POLYDOR SUPER logo at the bottom, and also the correct EJ DAY printer credits on the reverse.

THE TINIEST OF RING PRESS ONLY..Which for this sleeve is impossible to find!..but here we have a sleeve of the most incredible condition!

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS SLEEVE IN THIS CONDITION HAS TO BE WORTHY OF  MUSEUM QUALITY.

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-

Original  poly lined inner. some very light fade.

SO OVERALL FOLKS..THIS HAS TO BE THE ULTIMATE SLADE VINYL AUCTION...PLEASE IF YOU WANT IT BADLY, BID STRONG..!!   THE RESERVE IS ONLY £50, BUT IT IS WORTH A WHOLE LOT MORE IN THIS CONDITION..YOU MAY NEVER SEEN ANOTHER LIKE IT  (Like our Sweet LP listed too..same collection, same quality..quite amazing!)
