THE VINYL   MINT-

As you can see, this vinyl is the  1st A1 B1  UK  pressing- RARE TO SEE A UK 1 B1!

Stored from new this LP has seen ONE PLAY - STORED AWAY AS A FILE COPY FOR THE PUBLISHERS, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

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. 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.

There is barely any whisp on the vinyl and one light line on side two that does not sound at all-

On playing through we heard nothing really..it was amazing, and hardly a hint of any static anywhere..its a beauty!

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