AN ARCHIVE COPY NEVER NEED TO UPGRADE!!

Another from my personal collection, purchased from new in 1973 original only played one time to record to tape and then stored in a case with the vinyl seperated from the sleeve and cover for protection. This is how I have always stored my records! This mega early original 1st UK pressing boast of being as near as pristine condition throughout! A true archive copy! Also the most important thing is the audio will blow you away absolutely stunning seperation throughout and a true bassey feel only found like this on the earliest pressings , cristal clear and very vibrant plays as new without any clicks,pops,ticks or crackle. The best that you can get in my personal opinion. pressed from the earliest master A-1 B-1 matrix endings and extreemely early mother stampers '2' ''RM'' and ''2'' AA'' This album in my opinion is a keeper, you will never need to upgrade!!

Stranded is the third album by art rock band Roxy Music, and was released late 1973, reaching number one on the UK album charts. The cover features Ferry's girlfriend and 1973's Playmate of the Year, Marilyn Cole.

 It was the first Roxy Music album on which Bryan Ferry was not the sole songwriter, because Andy Mackay and guitarist Phil Manzanera also contributed to the album. It was also the first without Brian Eno, who had left the group!!!

The vinyl

The 1st thing to note! is that this is a mega thick and heavy original type of vinyl! Later press are much mor flimsier and less robust! The vinyl lays perfectly flat on the turntable! and looks absolutely stunning!!

This looks near pristine! I can't see any marks at all! In fact this has hardly ever been played at all! Perhapes a handfull of times by me personaly only! This has been stored in a case for the best part of 25 years! Any marks that could possibly be seen under a strong light would be sleeve removal marks only!!THE AUDIO IS TRULLY AWESOME YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER 1ST PRESS COPY! TOP! TOP! AUDIO ON ALL FREQUENCIES!!!! (no) clicks pops or any grooveware what so ever!!!!! NEVER NEED TO UPGRADE FROM THIS VINYL!!!!!

please note! I always add this disclaimer! Please allow for the light static crackle here and there (not) consistant throughout the audio! This is a genuine 36 year old vinyl that would have originally been played on a 36 year old system!!

This vinyl has been stored in a case for the best part of 25 years and could benefit from a constant clean before each play! This would greatly reduce any static crackle and greatly enhance the audio quality!!!

The record Sleeve

This is the original plain white paper record sleeve with  patent no. and 'Made in England'

The Cover

This is the original and more desirable FULLY LAMINATED 'TINSLEY ROBOR GROUP' GATEFOLD COVER! In exceptional  NEAR PRISTINE condition for a 1st press super glossy (NO) storageware to mention! Any slight signs of ringware at the rear only in the laminate can only be seen angled in the light (very very slight only! The corners are lovely and sharp Amaizingly (no) creases at all, There is slight fading in the picture at the spine which was there from the day of purchase and is a manufactureing fault found on some of the early covers! SUPERBE 1ST PRESS COVER!! NEAR MINT!! BEST THAT YOU WILL FIND AFTER 35 YEARS!!!!!!!!!
