CONDITION:

THE MAIN SLEEVE: is in excellent++ condition, the sleeve is laminated front and rear. For its age the sleeve has remained relatively unscuffed and crease free. The four corners of the sleeve have remained clean and sharp and the two opening edges of the sleeve have remained clean and sharp. The original period ‘thin’ spine is excellent++ condition and has remained straight, white and clean and all the text on the spine is clear to read. There are NO stains, splits, tears, stickers or sticker residue on the sleeve. To the top rear, right there is a name once written, long ago in blue pen that has faded.

THE INNER SLEEVE: is in very good++ condition and is the original period, plain white EMI sleeve, with its original correct ‘Patent No. 1,125,555. The sleeve is made of heavy grade paper, with a textured surface inside the sleeve. A very clean, white sleeve for its age. The sleeve does have some creasing here and there. The two opening edges have remained very clean. Theres NO pen writing, splits, tears, stickers or sticker residue on the sleeve.

THE RECORD: side one is in MINT condition, it looks brand new !. The condition of the record has been graded under natural daylight conditions. Side two is in excellent condition. Side two would have been graded a lot higher but there are some, non sounding ‘scuffs’ to the playing surface on side two. The record is made from the period, 1960s thick, heavy vinyl. It has remained very dark and glossy and ‘looks’ as if it has received very few plays.

The matrix are:  YEX 749 - 2  and  YEX  750 - 1,

The mother / stampers are:  ‘ 4 R D G ’  and  ‘ 1 0  R M D ’,

THE AUDIO: is excellent. The record plays with a full, loud period stereo sound. The record lays flat on the turntable.

THE LABELS: side one is in near MINT condition, side two is in excellent condition, there is a name written in blue pen on side two. As the record is a very first issue, side one shows a DARK green Apple colour. The labels are free from any ‘other’ pen writing, and free from any stickers or sticker residue.
