Sleeve: VERY GOOD PLUS!
Nice and bright creamy white front, back & insides and still retains its glossy sheen without ring wear. Nice clear very low 4-digit serial number #2975! No stains, pen or splits. The spine has patches of wear and is partially readable. Overall a fantastic very low 1st UK mono sleeve so often stained and yellowed, even rarer with such a low number, below the 3,000 mark!
Disc One: VERY GOOD PLUS!
When viewed under direct halogen spotlight the record is glossy and clean with light surface marks. Nothing big or significant. It plays with some light background crackle in quiet parts/between tracks. No skips or sticks obviously with this grade. Overall a fantastic 1st press mono listen. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing.
Disc Two: EXCELLENT!
When viewed under direct halogen spotlight the record is glossy with a small amount of light hairlines only. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. Obviously no skips or sticks with this high grade. A fantastic listen.
Inners: EXCELLENT!
The original and very delicate black die-cut paper inners have mild age-related wear.
Poster: EXCELLENT!
Original double-sided poster is clean with light signs of handling, no rips, stains or pen.
Photos: NEAR MINT!
