THE VINYL   MINT- STRONG    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  1st A1 B1 PRESSING With the original first edition labels- Stored from new this LP remains in pristine  condition.

ARCHIVED FROM NEW WITH VERY FEW PLAYS -So rare to see a copy this clean..

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.

There are a few light whisp lines, and a couple of little hairlines that do not sound -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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid out the vinyl.

a couple of tiny spider lines around the centre hole-

IT REMAINS IN SUPERB PLAY CONDITION. There is some dust on the vinyl where it has stood for so long untouched!

On playing through we heard nothing in the dead grooves bar the tiniest of static in the dead grooves...the odd dust pop that probably will not sound next time.. it sounds like new as it could be!

IT IS A CLEAN AS WE HAVE EVER HEARD IN FACT.

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