THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the EARLIEST 1977 1st UK pressing -Stored from new this LP has seen a couple of plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. The vinyl is quite incredible.

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.

No spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever. SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines and thats it-  nothing else!  There are some light dust flecs confirming the LP has been stored in its sleeve for decades..its really quite amazing.

Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-  SUPERB COPY NO WEAR.  

Correct  UK  LOW GLOSS  FINISH SLEEVE  first issued earliest sleeve with SQUARE SPINE

This is straight out the box from  1977 - incredible condition , we do not auction any sleeves that we deem to have 'wear' so rest assured you are looking at a sleeve of stunning condition..

FINDING A COPY OF THIS SLEEVE THIS GOOD IS PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE AS IT WAS A TERROR FOR EASY DAMAGE AND RING WEAR, SCUFF ETC..

BUT..NOT THIS ONE!!!!

The edges are all super clean with no traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition. This sleeve which is so hard to preserve without wear has clearly been stored away for decades!

No powdery white ringwear or even ring press of any note, and all edges are super crisp.

NO edge rub of any note - amazing!!

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

The spine edge is totally unmarked -no dinks or wear at all.

There are a few little spider lines over the edges and a couple of fine hairline creases - on bottom of front right and top left of the sleeve, and one litle price sticker 'dull spot' on the cover..but seriously!  these are such small things compared to 99.9% of Bad Reputation sleeves which are always worn and suffer bad ring press etc..this sleeve shines like new and has clearly been stored away for decades..    

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-

Original thick paper 'photo' inner..immaculate no wear or damage a real beauty
