THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1985 1st PRESS LP- WITH BOTH MATRIX NUMBERS ON THE VINYL

Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a couple of plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. It is quite incredible and it sounds like new!

It has the UK matrix/catalogue number - and as far as we know this LP (like many rock LPs from this period) were pressed in Europe for general release. We are told due to the CD boom, the UK had stopped pressing a lot of vinyl releases in the UK and were only pressing CDs.

This superb vinyl  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 rarely see  this LP, &never quite as good as this one!

A couple of light 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves.... In fact its easily as good as we have heard. AS NEW!!!

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   IN THE SHRINKWRAP!

 This is in simply incredible condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean. This sleeve is incredibly hard to find in any condition, the delicate black inks makes it so hard to protect and store..but this sleeve is quite something!
