THE VINYL   MINT-    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  EARLIEST 1st A1 B1 PRESSING- ON THE FAMOUS AND RARE 'BOGART' CASABLANCA BLUE LABEL (Later presses were on the BUFF COLOUR ON PYE)

FINDING THESE  COPIES IS BECOMING IMPOSSIBLE! AND IN THIS CONDITION? WOW!!!!

So few were manufacturd in the UK back in 1974, and by the time Kiss went megastars, this LP was re-issued on the later 70s 'PYE' buff Casablanca labels... These 'Blues' are rare.. in this condition? CRAZY RARE.

 Stored from new this LP remains in pristine  condition everywhere.

STAMPED MATRIX NUMBERS-

This 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.

RATHER INCREDIBLY..THIS COPY HAS BEEN ARCHIVED SINCE 1974 AND REMAINS MINT- PLAY CONDITION

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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..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 tinist static in the dead grooves..it sounds like new as it could be! No unwanted noises or crackles at all..

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