THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1st pressing with the ORANGE LABELS -(Not later PRICE labels) Stored from new this LP has seen ONE FILE play, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

THE VINYL WAS PLACED IN A POLY PROTECTOR FROM NEW, AND THE INNER SLEEVE, AND VINYL, AND THE SLEEVE ARE MUSEUM QUALITY- FILED AWAY FOR 32 YEARS!

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.

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines, 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

The LP plays superb barely a hint of lead instatic-  AS GOOD AS IT GETS HERE!

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