We play through most of the records, unless the item is clearly mint, or sealed..in which case we don't play them, thus maintaining their 'unplayed' status!  Obviously with some of these rare items there will be the odd 'anomoly' along the way , the odd little static pop or lead in 'sizzle' for a split second.. nothing is perfect we find! all systems differ, but we aim to describe these as accurately as possible for you.... PLEASE ENJOY THIS ITEM YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT..

THE VINYL   MINT- PLAY    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  ORIGINAL 1970  PRESSING- Stored from new this LP remains in pristine PLAY CONDITION

THIS VINYL AS ALL THE OTHERS WE ARE LISTING PLAYS QUITE SUBLIME.

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.

There are  a few light whisp lines, and a couple of little hairlines that do not sound -and thats it-  nothing else!  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..

Some light spider lines around the centre hole-

 There is some dust on the vinyl where it has stood for so long unseen since the 70s!

all quiet passages sounded superb.

On playing through we heard nothing in the dead grooves bar the tiniest of static in the dead grooves...no unwanted noises or pops/clicks.

It was a stunning listen and overall we dobt you'd hear better for this amazing FIRST PRESSING.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST !!
