THE VINYL   EX +    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the 1st 1972 pressing on TRACK RECORDS with the original labels..- Stored from new this LP has seen a handful of careful plays, and remains in super condition everywhere.

THIS VINYL IS THE HEAVYWEIGHT EARLIEST PRESSING -

This pressing has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is virtually 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.

There are a couple of light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few whisp lines , a couple of the lightest of hairlines 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN SUPERB CONDITION.

On playing through we heard some light lead in static in the dead grooves....some light static in the dead grooves  - The quiet passages sound really super..As the vinyl has clearyl sat for so long we feel that a professional hoover cleaner could remedy this back to a higher grade we feel.

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