THE VINYL   MINT-   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the EARLY 1st UK  pressing -NOT A EUROPEAN COPY

Stored from new this LP has seen a few extremely careful plays, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

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.

A few a few light 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is a few light dust flecs on the vinyl where the LP has not been outside the sleeve for decades-  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

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