Description
Lovely copy of this hard to find album.
Aside from the yellowing expected on something this old, the sleeve is in great shape. It's not a 'tip-on' style but it's made from high quality card stock. There are the beginnings of a 2.5cm seam split on the top edge (which I've tried to capture in the photos). The spine is strong and legible.
The record itself, I'm pleased to say, plays beautifully. I usually visually inspect albums but I've started my Sunday giving this a spin and there are no loud pops etc to ruin the mood — so it plays as good as it looks. The labels are clean, flat and well centred (and, as you might notice in the photos, the shade of blue ink used on them is noticeably darker than most pressings from this label).
It comes with a generic unlined paper inner sleeve.
As with all my sales of used vinyl, I ship in re-used sturdy pro cardboard mailers and I use Royal Mail because, unlike some other carriers, they'll never leave your package on your doorstep (unless you have specifically designated a 'safe place' for them to use) where it might get stolen, rained on or warped in the sunshine. I also slip the sleeve and the vinyl back to back into a free poly outer sleeve to prevent ring wear and (further) seam split damage during transit.
Thanks for looking!
