ORIGINAL UK GREEN CHRYSALIS 1972 'PORKY' ISSUE  LP  - 1st LARGE NEWSPAPER TEXTURED SLEEVE

A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN GOOD CONDITION LP SET!

THE SLEEVE HAS NO FRAYED EDGES OR TEARS, AND THE VINYL PLAYS FANTASTIC (Rare, as so many have pressing hiss/defects)

Released 1972

Label    CHRYSALIS CHR1003

Matrix        CHR1003 A-3U   PORKY

                   CHR1003  B-2U  PECKO

THE VINYL   EX+   INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1st HEAVYWEIGHT pressing  - Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a handful of CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere.

ARCHIVED AWAY FOR DECADES IN  A PRIVATE COLLECTION OF  LPs

This HEAVYWEIGHT 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 like this.

We can see A FEW tiny spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE.

There are a few light whisp lines, and thats it-  nothing else!  No scratches or marks.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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 some light lead in static in the dead grooves and opening of each side, but nothing spoiled the listening we felt.

 ...and some very occassional light static in a few placesthe whole record plays superb.

Most copies we see of this release 'always' have terrible pressing hiss or crackle- finding a vinyl that sounds correct is actually rather hard on these original green label presses..

THIS REALLY IS A FANTASTIC LISTEN, WITH NO JUMPS, STICKS, POPS, OR ANNOYING ANOMOLIES!

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

THE LABELS   MINT-  FLAT MATT LABELS

THE SLEEVE     EX+ STRONG  WOW!!!!!!! 

Correct MATT first UK issued earliest GATEFOLD NEWSPAPER sleeve  -

PRINTER CREDITS -  E.J.DAY

WHERE AS MOST SLEEVES YOU'LL SEE WILL HAVE FRAYED AND 'DOGGY' EDGES, THIS IS RAZOR SHARP WITH NO WEAR AT ALL.. AND BEST OF ALL NO WEAR ON THE BOTTOM CREASE FLAP!!!!
