CONDITION
Disc
Labels: Side 1 EXCELLENT Side 2 EXCELLENT+
A superb set of labels with unworn gold lettering. Side one has some light spindle wear around the centre hole but otherwise retains much of its original freshness. Side two is once again fresh and very close to a nr mint grading. There is no writing to any label. The MT tax code is visible on side 2.
Visual: Side 1 nr MINT Side 2 EXCELLENT+
One of the finest looking black gold vinyl copies I have seen. Appears virtually mint in strong daylight, even under a strong halogen desklight nothing much more is revealed other than only one or two faint marks per side. A truly superb example and now extremely tough to find in this condition. The record lies 100% flat on the turntable.
Audio: EXCELLENT+
Very little to fault this superb sounding copy. There is a touch of light surface noise in some parts and the occasional light tick but overall superb undistorted audio which is crisp and clear. Needless to say the record does not jump or stick.
Cover
EXCELLENT
The record comes in its original E J Day GOLD cover with the angus McBean credit in the extreme right hand position. The front panel grades at excellent+ and is free from any thumbnail creases. There is some light wear to the bottom right corner but other than this there is very little to fault. The rear panel is clean and free from any tape marks or writing. All flipbacks are intact, however there is a crease in the flipback on the bottom right corner and some wear to the flipback at the extreme top left corner. It has to be said this 1st issue EJ day cover is in remarkable condition for its age, one only has to look at the condition of most 1st issue covers that are being sold on ebay to realise that this really is a wonderful cover and now extremely difficult to get in this condition.
Inner-sleeve EXCELLENT +
Clean & correct.
