'LIVE IN LONDON'

RARE UK 1st  1-1-1 Pressing LP ON HARVEST LABEL

STILL IN SHRINKWRAP AND ORIGINAL STICKERS ON THE OUTSIDE-

 WITH THE RARE TEXTURED INNER SLEEVE TOO.

 From a Private music business associate, this LP is from a collection of archived 'from new' LPs, all are simply outstanding condition with only one play of the vinyl...

See our others listed, there's a lot more to come from this collection-all in this amazing condition..

Released   1982

Label        EMI HARVEST   SHSP 4124

Matrix      SHSP4124  A-1-1-1

                 SHSP4124  B-1-1-1

 

THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the FIRST HARVEST A-1 B-1  pressing -NOT A EUROPEAN COPY

Stored from new this LP has seen one play, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. The best example we have seen. STILL IN THE SHRINK AND WITH ORIGINAL PRICE STICKERS IN PLACE

THIS IS A MUST!

This first 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 &  thats it-  nothing else!  There is a few light dust flecs on the vinyl where the LP has not been outside the sleeve for decades-  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years..

IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION...AND We heard just the lightest of lead in static and a couple of inciental static pops on each side..it is really quite amazing.

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

 

THE SLEEVE     MINT-   IMMACULATE

Correct  UK  GLOSS  FINISH SLEEVE  first issued earliest sleeve by 'Garrod & Lofthouse'

This is straight out the box from  1982 as you can see from the shrinkwrap and stickers still in place from new!

The shrinkwrap has pulled tight the sleeve (as so many did!) and it has created the usual 'bowing' to the sleeve, but no damage ..it has slightly curved the bottom open edge. But no creasing.

SHRINK HAS BEEN OPENED CAREFULLY DOWN THE SIDE TO REVEAL THE LP. YOU CAN HARDLY SEE THE SPLIT IN FACT! (We thought it was sealed to begin with its that tight!)

The edges are all super clean with no traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition. This sleeve which is so hard to preserve without wear has clearly been stored away for decades!

No powdery white ringwear or even ring press of any note, and all edges are super crisp.

NO edge rub of any note !

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition with not a hint of handling

The spine edge is totally unmarked -no dinks or wear at all.

a couple of tiny incidental spider lines over the edges.

both stickers still on the outside.

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS SLEEVE IS  MUSEUM QUALITY.

    

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT   

SUPER RARE! THE ORIGINAL TEXTURED SLEEVE IS SIMPLY AS BRAND NEW..WHICH IS QUITE SOMETHING TO REPORT..MOST ARE ALWAYS SCISSORED AT THE BOTTOM.
