EX- Vinyl / EX Labels / EX++ audio
I delighted to present for auction a quite magnificent example of THE most sought after record in history in quite fantastic condition.
The vinyl surfaces are superb and the black and gold labels are as good as you will ever see,they are truly immaculate. This vinyl has obviously been treasured with only the odd very faint marks here and there which only become evident when tilted under strong light.
Audio playback is perfect from start to finish and along with it's fantastic looks makes this a serious investment grade example of archive quality.
Side 1 , has the 1G stamper and Dick James credits, the label is perfect and in EX+ condition with no wear of any kind. The vinyl has a deep shine and lies 100% flat there are just a few very faint sleeve removal marks.
Side 2, has the 1R stamper and the MZT tax code on the label, Again this label is stunning with no signs of wear, the gold lettering is wonderful, it is still bold and vibrant. The vinyl surface is much the same as side 1 and is in Excellent condition with just the odd faint mark.
The outer sleeve is the true 1st pressing gold sleeve and it is in VERY GOOD condition. The front and spine are great but the rear does have some storage wear to the flipbacks which is common.
