THIS IS A WEEK 1 POSSIBLY DAY 1 PRESSING WITH EARLIEST STAMPER NUMBERS (1)TO BOTH SIDES AND SIMILAR MATRICES (-1)
RECORD COMES IN A FIRST PRINT 'MONO' ONLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD 'GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE' WIDE SPINE SLEEVE ( 8mm ) WITH CORRECT RED AND WHITE INNER AND CUTOUTS
WIDE SPINE RECORD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION SOME VERY VERY LIMITED TINY CREASE'S TO THE EDGES A SLIGHTLY MORE PRONOUNCED CREASE TO THE WIDE SPINE EDGE BUT NONE OF THIS AFFECTS THE TEXT OR THE IMAGES
THE WIDE SPINE IS UNCRUSHED BUT DOES HAVE TWO SMALL CREASES ,AND A COUPLE OF SMALL CORNER BUMPS ,THE SLEEVE FRONT HAS SOME SMALL LINES IN THE BLUE AREA AT THE TOP BUT THEY ARE UNDER THE LAMINATE WHICH PROBABLY CONFIRMS THE EARLY PRINTING OF THE ITEM AND THEY ARE VERY FEINT
SLEEVE HAS 'MONO' ONLY DESIGNATION AT THE TOP RIGHT AND 'PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' AT THE BASE
RED AND WHITE INNER IS PRESENT AND IS AGAIN IN CLEAN CONDITION ,THERE HAS BEEN SOME TAPE REINFORCEMENT INTERNALLY BY A PREVIOUS OWNER A COMMON ENOUGH OCCURENCE TO SUPPORT THE VINYL
CUT OUTS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNMARKED
VINYL RECORD HAS NOT SEEN MANY PLAYS OVER THE YEARS THE SURFACES STILL RETAIN A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO THEM AND ITS ONLY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THAT YOU CAN SEE ANY OF THE LIGHT HANDLING MARKS
LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CLEAN CONDITION WITH AN UNDAMAGED AND UNWORN CENTRE HOLE ANY SPINDLE MARKS ( MAINLY TO SIDE 2 ) ARE CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRES)
THE AUDIO WAS EXCELLENT WITH QUIET RUN INS AND CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUND WE DO PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI TO CONFIRM THE QUALITY
