'DIFFICULT TO CURE'

STONE MINT VINYL - UK (EURO) REVIEW COPY LP

ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE 'ARCHIVED COPY' FIRST PRESSING. We have more LPs listed and more coming, all from the same review collection..

Released 1981

Label POLYDOR POLD5036

Matrix 603 POLD5036 A DM POLYGRAM

603 POLD5036 B DM POLYGRAM

THE VINYL MINT POSSIBLY UNPLAYED

Finding a copy in this condition is very very hard to do, especially the sleeve as so many are damaged, very few were archived away..this copy is simply a barely played archived example

'Difficult to Cure' as many early 80s rock LPs were European releases and pressed in Germany or France, all UK copies have the matrix numbers as above- this is a French pressing and has the generic european Polydor matrix on each side. As far as we know this LP never had a solitary UK release

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.

NO spider lines we could see around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

Some very light incidental whisp across the vinyl, and no hairlines that were visible of any note at all- amazing!

On the whole it is absolutely in stunning ARCHIVED MINT condition- EASILY as good as any vinyl we have seen of this title..amazing.

Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years ..OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION.

THE LABELS MINT MATT labels

THE SLEEVE EX STRONG

Correct 'high' GLOSS first EUROPEAN issued sleeve. This is the corect sleeve for this release

Super condition, with no bad damage, there are a few spider lines over the edges and a few hairliens over the edges in a few places along the bottom.

No powdery wear or rub, and no bad dinks to the corners..some very light tip rub only.

the open edge has some very feint rub on the edges and there is one tiny blister on the top edge.

Best of all, unlike most sleeves of this LP, is there is no ring wear or white rub around the sides

THE INNER SLEEVE MINT-

Original lyric card inner, absolutely prisitne with no discplour, blothing or scissoring..amazing!
