THE VINYL   MINT    INCREDIBLE  ARCHIVED CONDITION

Finding a copy in this condition is very very hard to do, ..this copy is simply a time capsule example

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 VINYL DID NOT COME OUT THE SLEEVE EASILY DUE TO THE STATIC, CONFIRMING THIS HAS BEEN STORED FOR DECADES..

ONE TINY spider line around the centre hole of side one, NO spindle on side two..and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

We feel this Lp may have been played on side one, but side two is clearly unplayed..the vinyl on both sides is simply mint with hardly a whisp on it!

Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years ..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION.

THE LABELS   MINT  MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     MINT-   PRISTINE IMMACULATE SLEEVE

Correct LOW GLOSS first UK issued earliest sleeve with square spine & rare logo embossing.

Also note the rare HOWARD MARKS promo sticker and hand written name below if for the attention of the press officer Carole Straker..making this set a real collectable item and for a Gary Moore fan..priceless!

Imposible to find without bad white rubbing and ring wear this sleeve is superb, no wear or marks at all! It is pretty much like brand new!

The edges are all super clean no feathering or white spider lines, and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition -the  ink is perfect and this sleeve has no rubbing on the edges or corner tips, pretty much impossible to see for an album that is 30 odd years old!

No powdery white ringwear, just the slightest hint of ring press on the back top sleeve, and all edges are super crisp like new.

There is a very light gloss spray lift on the back in a few spots by the open edge, and a little thumb crease on the back right side- The bottom open edge has a very very light dink

The open edge remains in sharp condition with not a hint of handling, no spider lines anywhere that we could see!!!

The spine sits proud and is totally square

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS SLEEVE IS A RARE ONE...AND IN SUPERB CONDITION

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-

Original  LYRIC printed bag -Low gloss paper with thumb scoop -no scissoring or damage at all!
