THE VINYL   MINT-  STRONG   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1st UK pressing -NOT AN IMPORT COPY!

Stored from new this LP has seen only a few plays, and remains in superb condition everywhere. The best example we have seen.

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

There are a few light whisp lines and a couple of feint hairlines on the vinyl, but these do not sound at all, so visibly you can see a line, but you certaily wont hear anything, well we didnt!!

 The whole vinyl plays amazing..and there were no jumps skips or unwanted noise..there was barely a hint of static on the deasd grooves either..the whole sound is huge rich and the only way to hear this LP!.

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

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT JET LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-  IMMACULATE

Correct  UK MATT  FINISH SLEEVE  first issued earliest sleeve by  'SHOREWOOD PACKAGING'  with the proud square spine & the UA logo.  Later sleeves were the typical glossier late 70s/80s design-

This is straight out the box from 1973 - incredible condition , we do not auction any sleeves that we deem to have 'wear' so rest assured you are looking at a sleeve of stunning condition..

THERE IS NO RUB OR GRUBBY MARKS  OF ANY NOTE TO WHITE MATT CARD- SO RARE TO SEE THIS FOR STARTERS.

The edges are all super clean with no traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition. Just the lightest of tip rub on the open edge top.

No powdery white ringwear - only the VERY lightest of ring press, and all edges are super crisp.

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

One tiny little dink on the bottom front SPINE & top open edge

The spine edge is totally unmarked -sitting proud of both faces, there is one tiny litle dink, but all legends perfectly readable

We cannot add any more than this! it is simply 'out the box' condition

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS SLEEVE IS  BY FAR THE BEST 'THIRD DAY' ORIGINAL SLEEVE WE HAVE EVER SEEN.

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-  SUPER RARE ORIGINAL INNER

Original  THIN PAPER WITH TAPERED EDGES AND THUMB GROOVE -Note later first presses had a card inne sleeve, these paper ones are super rare, and in this amazing condition..'gold dust'!

The vinyl is still inside the poly 'shaped' inner proptector that the very first run came with..never seen this before!

There is no wear or SCISSORING..STUNNING WHITE LIKE NEW!
