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   MINT   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  early 1973 BLAIR  pressing- Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a couple of plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

THIS REALLY IS QUITE AN ASTONISHING VINYL!

HEAVYWEIGHT PRESS- NOT A FLIMSIER LATER PRESS.

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.

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

There is barely a hint of any 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 Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..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 TIME CAPUSLE CONDITION- AS GOOD AS WE HAVE EVER SEEN.

On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves..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     MINT-  SIMPLY PRISTINE. 

Correct  first UK issued earliest sleeve  -with the TITLES ON TOP EDGE AND SPINE

 This is in simply incredible condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean.

THE BEST EXAMPLE WE HAVE SEEN.. STUNNING.

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

No powdery white ringwear - THE TINIEST of light ring press, and all edges are super crisp.

NO tip rub &  a just couple of  spider lines over the edge of the spine,

The spine edge is unmarked with no wear or squash , just a couple of spider lines

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition -superb.
