IT IS SUPER CLEAN, NO SCRATCHES MARKS OR ANYTHING TO SPOIL THE PLAY

IT REALLY IS QUITE AMAZING. AND SOUNDS AWESOME.

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, so rarely do we see a copy at all like this.

We can see some light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

There are a few light whisp lines, and thats it-  nothing else!  No scratches or marks.  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard some light lead in static in the dead grooves ...the very occasional dust pop, but the whole record plays superb.

'CHILD IN TIME' IS A STUNNING PLAY (Normally this is where you hear bad background) !!!!!!
