THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1st UK pressing with the -1 -1 MATRIX -Most copies of this Lp were later matrix numbers - Stored from new this LP  remains in pristine condition everywhere. The best example we have seen.

This first 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 tiny spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever. surplus paper on one side...which has slightly blistered -nothing through play or wear.

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines , nothing else!  Clearly this LP WAS archived after possibly one or two plays only- IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On listening through we heard barely a hint of static, and no noises pops or jumps..a stunner!

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS
