THE VINYL   MINT- STRONG   

As you can see, this vinyl is the EARLIEST  -1 -1  PRESSING 

- Stored from new this LP has seen RATHER INCREDIBLY JUST ONE PLAY FROM NEW AND ARCHIVED AWAY FOR 45 YEARS!

IT REMAINS IN SUPERB play CONDITION

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. 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 some light dust on the vinyl where it has stood for decades, no marks or scratches and just some very feint whisp.

We see NO LINES AT ALL around the centre hole. AND SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE HOLE TOO.

On playing through we heard just the lightest lead in static in the dead grooves, and the tiniest dust static in 'GUDBYE TO JANE'  but the whole record is superb.

Overall a super example for this highly collectable release.
