THE VINYL Near Mint condition
1st UK pressing with the MATT 'LIBERTY' LABELS. Stored carefully and remains in pristine condition overall, the best example I have ever seen.
This first pressing is a superb example 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 smooth and undamaged.
Only the slighest visible spindle lines around the centre hole, and no enlarging to the spindle hole whatsoever.
There is barely a hint of any sleeve removal lines and certainly nothing more serious. Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when I checked it visually and for listening..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION. The audio is rich & full with superb dynamics and a warm rich tone and good separation. The music truly sounds alive & vital springing from the speakers and engaging one with vitality and shading.
Clearly this copy has been played a handful of times and very carefully handled over the years.
THE LABELS Near Mint condition
NO writing / Names / or any other kind of unwanted graffiti
The labels are matt printed and very rich / vibrant in colour hue...stunning.
They are 2 ring / ridge designs which are representative of very early UK pressings of this title.
B side label has very slight loss of paper near the spindle hole as shown in photo gallery.
THE SLEEVE Near Mint condition
A truly fantastic copy of this sleeve wise.
Has rough ORANGE card inside to sleeve which again denotes very early press, this was abandoned from later presses / reissues after the 1st run.
Sharp edges and corners with little to no wear.
Spine is sharp / squared and has minimal wear and group name and album title are fully legible.
Only the faintest couple of crease spider lines from the spine edge which are barely noticeable.
Only other minor issue is a light indentation of about 3cm near to the top right corner of the front sleeve which to is hard to spot.
Overall the sleeve is in fantastic shape and has only the slightest amount of age discolouration due to ageing.
THE INNER SLEEVE Near Mint condition
Original lyric inner sleeve on matt stock , no scissoring / splits
Has scalloped vinyl access cutaway section on A Side.
POSTAGE
All records are shipped with vinyl removed from sleeves / outer jackets to avoid seam splits in transit / post.
I will further remove vinyl from inners if printed to avoid the same and send in new plain white paper sleeve.
All items sent in sturdy cruciform style mailers so the item gets to you in the condition it left me.
If you have any personal peculiraties / preferences please get in touch prior to postage and I will do my best to accommodate.
Good Luck!
