THE VINYL   MINT   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

A superb 19778 1st pressing vinyl which has been archived away since NEW, the vinyl remains in stunning condition, and sounds amazing.

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.

NO spider lines around the centre hole, AND STILL SOME SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE HOLE!

The vinyl has been played ONCE!!, and there are no signs of wear or marks anywhere on the vinyl- it is quite astonishing.

The sonic sound of it really is incredible. We head no lead in static of any note, the tiniest of static in a couple of places along the way, which is probbaly just static and certainly not wear!

yes.. It sounds superb. NO SKIPS OR JUMPS.

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