THE VINYL   EX+ strong  INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the EARLY 1st UK pressing -Stored from new this LP has seen  a handful of plays, and remains in superb condition everywhere.. UK PRESSING

This first pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There are a few light whispy lines and a few hairlines as you may expect, but overall this is in top 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.

A few light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

No marks or damage and nothing that penetrates the vinyl, and the LP sounds superb.

Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years..and barely played - IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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-  

Correct  UK  FLAT MATT  FINISH SLEEVE by 'GOTHIC PRESS'  first issued earliest sleeve with SQUARE SPINE - Not a later glossy print sleeve with bar code

This is such a hard sleeve to find in any condition as most suffered terrible white ring wear and damage - We do not auction any sleeves that we deem to have 'wear' so rest assured you are looking at a sleeve of stunning condition..

The edges are all super clean with virtually 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. some incidental spots of edge rub in a few places, and tip rub only. A couple of tiny light thumb creases in a couple of spots, these are very small.

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition with not a hint of handling

The spine edge is totally unmarked -no dinks or wear of any note.

a couple of tiny incidental spider lines over the edges.

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS SLEEVE IS  SUPERB QUALITY -and for a sleeve so hard to find decent, this is an absolute cracker!.

    

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-

Original poly lined 'Pat No 800513   inner- light fade no damage.
