THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized A-2 B-2 1987 pressing  - Stored from new this LP has seen just a COUPLE of VERY CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. THE VINYL REALLY IS CLOSE TO MINT.

AN IMMACULATE COPY, RARE TO FIND LIKE THIS.

This pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is some light dulling  and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age. We are seing fewer and fewer copies of this LP on vinyl- most were pressed on CD , so rarely do we see a copy at all, let alone like this.

WE SEE NO spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

SOME SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE.

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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves....this is easily as clean a copy as we have heard.

AS GOOD AS YOU WILL SEE FOR THIS  CLASSIC RECORD.

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