THE VINYL MINT- INCREDIBLE CONDITION
As you can see, this vinyl is the EARLIEST A2 B2 STAMPED MATRIX pressing with the original labels..- Stored from new this LP has seen possibly a handful of VERY CAREFUL plays only, and remains in pristine condition everywhere. THE VINYL REALLY IS QUITE SUPERB.
This pressing is a superb vinyl which has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is virtually 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.
There are a couple of light spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.
There are a few whisp lines, a couple of the lightest of hairlines and thats it- nothing else Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.
On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves leading into the opening track of each side....some light static in a few spots during play..but overall this is easily as clean a copy as we have heard.
The quiet passages sound really superb..AS GOOD A COPY AS WE HAVE EVER AUCTIONED
OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT SEE BETTER.
