THE VINYL   MINT PLAY    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the ORIGINAL EARLY 1977 pressing  with the original labels..- Stored from new this LP has seen TWO VERY CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. THE VINYL REALLY IS QUITE SUPERB.

This pressing is a superb vinyl which 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 is one tiny light spider line around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.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 tiniest (almost inaudible) of lead in static in the dead grooves - thats it.

The quiet passages sound really superb..no hiss static unwanted noise pops or crackles

AS GOOD A COPY AS WE HAVE EVER AUCTIONED! THIS LP IS QUITE SUBLIME THROUGHOUT
