We list in many cases, 'Archived' & 'mint' condition items, we are able to source from private collections all over the UK. So we hope you can be put at ease that what you are bidding on is of the highest quality.

We play through most of the records, unless the item is clearly mint, or sealed..in which case we don't play them, thus maintaining their 'unplayed' status!  Obviously with some of these rare items there will be the odd 'anomoly' along the way , the odd little static pop or lead in 'sizzle' for a split second.. nothing is perfect we find! all systems differ, but we aim to describe these as accurately as possible for you.... PLEASE ENJOY THIS ITEM YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT..

THE VINYL   EX+  INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the ORIGINAL 1st B& C RECORDS PRESSING With the original first edition labels- Stored from new this LP remains in pristine  condition.

ARCHIVED FROM NEW WITH VERY LITTLE PLAY

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.

There are a few light whisp lines, and a couple of little hairlines that do not sound -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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid out the vinyl.

a FEW spider lines around the centre hole-

IT REMAINS IN SUPERB PLAY CONDITION. There is some dust on the vinyl where it has stood for so long untouched!

On playing through we heard nothing in the dead grooves bar the tiniest of static in the dead grooves...the odd dust pop that probably will not sound next time.. it sounds like new as it could be!

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

 

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

 

THE SLEEVE     EX+  STRONG

Correct  first UK issued earliest GATEFOLD sleeve  -with the SUPER WIDE spine & RARE RED CHARISMA INNER SLEEVE

Printed by  -   E.J.DAY

 This is in superb condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean.. Most copies we see have bad white rubbing on the edges & texture finish ..but not this one

Just the tiniest of rub on the bottom front seam AND THE ODD SPOT ON THE TOP.

The edges are all super clean with virtually no traces of rub of any note, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

THE  INKS ARE MAGNIFICENT..

No powdery white ringwear - some very light ring press, and the tiniest of tip rub , &  just a couple of tiny spider lines over the edge of the spine and seam edge.

The spine edge is clean with a little spot of rub and the titles creeping over onto the front panel (most did!)

the open out of the gatefold is astonishing.  IMMACULATE

We cannot add any more than this! ITS A BEAUTY! 

OVERALL..A REAL BEAUTY!
