THE VINYL   EX+ PLAY

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1976 pressing  - Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a handful of VERY CAREFUL plays only, and remains in SUPERB 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.

a couple of light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are some whisp lines, a couple of the lightest of hairlines 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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....some very  light static cracks in a few spots during play..but overall this is easily as clean a copy as we have heard.

A professional hoover clean could get this back, we feel, to an even higher sound quality!

On 'She's Gone' it sounded stunning..hardly a whisper of any static to be heard.. This track being very quiet it will show up any bad noise etc.

A very rare record to see at all these days- It hardly surfaces at all.

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