THE VINYL   MINT    INCREDIBLE  'TIME CAPSULE' CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized 1st genuine UK pressing with the EARLIEST '1 1' Mother stampers on both sides!

Stored from new this LP has seen ONE PLAY THEN ARCHIVED, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. The best example we have seen.

This first UK 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. The edges are silky smooth, typical of these vintage pressings. We are seing fewer and fewer copies of this LP, so rarely do we see a copy at all, let alone like this.

NO VISIBLE  SPIDER LINES &  NO WEAR TO THE SPINDLE HOLE AT ALL.

There are a couple of very light whisp lines that are visible under very bright light!  No marks damage or wear...IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard only some very tiny light lead in static on the opening dead grooves and thats about it..This vinyl is simply outstanding &  plays in stunning condition, and ultra rare to see one of these first presses this good.. THE WHOLE VINYL PLAYS LIKE NEW!

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT SEE BETTER.

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT UK LABELS

THE SLEEVE     EX+ STRONG   

Correct LOW GLOSS THICK CARD  first issued earliest UK sleeve  with square spine - IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND WITHOUT WEAR & GRUBBY HANDLING

 This is a superb sleeve, and a genuine UK issued record despite the sleeve being printed in Holland (as many were in the mid 80s due to the CD boom..records were being farmed out everywhere for manufacture by 1986)

The edges show  some fine traces of rub, and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

Some tiny tip rub on the four corners, but there is no powdery white ringwear - The slightest of ring press only.. hardly visible!

The open edge remains sharp & totally unfeathered . One light hairline crease on the back open edge. and one on the back spine edge

A couple of tiny little spider lines over the back top edge

The spine edge is unsquashed and has only a couple of tiny rub spots.

WE CLARIFY BY SAYING, THIS SLEEVE BEING SO HARD TO FIND IN DECENT CONDITION HAS TO BE SEEN AS A REAL GEM..

THE INNER SLEEVE   MINT-

Original CARD inner ...no wear or discoloration, only some very very feint ring press- no scissoring.
