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

'1984' was a European release and pressed in Germany, all UK copies have the matrix numbers as above

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Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years ..OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION.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

Correct GLOSS first EUROPEAN issued sleeve. Archived from new, this sleeve is simply immaculate throughout

YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THIS COPY..REALLY!

The edges are all super clean with no traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition -

The open edge is immaculate and razor sharp - The 'Proud'spine sits totally square with barely a trrace of squash..it is mark free and stunning, and is raised from both the faces of the sleeve itself!

A couple of tiny incidental spider lines over the edge, but no marks or damage anywhere

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS SLEEVE IS AS GOOD AS YOU WILL SEE    

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-

Original  printed inner, poly liner, no damage or tears or scissoring
