THE VINYL   EX+  SUPERB PLAY

As you can see, this vinyl is the EARLIEST 1st UK A1 B1  'PORKY' pressing -Archived from new with only a handful of plays

A few light spider lines around the centre hole, but no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There is some light whisp and a few light hairlines that are visible under bright light! The vinyl has some very light dulling but nothing spoils the play.

The vinyl plays superb, and only some very light lead in static on the opening grooves and a few tiny light static pops along the way- we feel this could be remedied with a professional hoover cleaner which would bring this vinyl up to like new condition we feel.. and get rid of the light dulling too!
