CONDITION VINYL

RECORD LABEL The ORIGINAL record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The black typeface is totally unrubbed and every letter perfectly legible!!!! VISUAL CONDITION Most of these LPs are played into submission or badly marked or scratched, and almost unplayable or are in a sorry state.These one is NOT!!! The 3 vinyls are visually SENSATIONAL with highly polished, glass like surfaces, unmarked under extreme light!!! The 3 LPs are UNMARKED!!! Closer inspection one can observe only 1 factory made surface mark on SIDE 3 - but only visible, in fact it is NOT a defect!!! The visual must grade Near Mint if not better!!!! SOUND QUALITY There is a superb punk rock sound and SUPERB audio clarity on this original album, the sides both kicking off with close to silent run-in grooves and then maintaining a high standard of audio throughout, with superb resonance and 'fat' tones, while still revealing crystal clarity and sharpness in the top end and mid-range - simply fantastic!!! The audio clarity on this album is absolutely sensational. The whole album plays with a deep clear sound that is hard and powerful when necessary and crystal clear during the quieter moments!!! The record plays SENSATIONAL with NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss, and BARELY crackle AT ALL - Virtually NONE!!! It has only 2 MEGA LIGHT pops on Side 3 and on Side 5 - only VERY brief & VERY isolated!!! Certainly nothing that detracts from the overall IMPRESSIVE sound quality of the album. It plays simply STUNNING with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The audio quality is just AMAZING!!! The complete record plays top on all frequencies!!! VERY VERY clear and deep sound!!! Only the 1st pressing have this top audio quality!!! Plays 100% flat without any skips or sticks!!! Nevertheless, with no serious faults or anything to interrupt the needles journey through the tracks this really does remain a top drawer Clash collectors record so don’t miss out!!! The sound quality must grade EXCELLENT+++ if not better!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! Graded STRICTLY to the UK Record Collector grading standards.
