THE SLEEVE :- Fully laminated sleeve

THE VINYL VISUALLY :- On initial inspection of this piece of vinyl there are marks and a few scuffs on either side. There are no deep scratches that would interupt the playback. Very Good condition visually.

THE VINYL PLAY GRADED SIDE ONE :- The playgrading of the vinyl reveals some light crackle throughout. It is quite low level crackle. There are no jumps or skips. Not a minter but a perfectly acceptable and playable copy of this rarity. Very Good condition audibly.

THE VINYL PLAY GRADED SIDE TWO :- The playgrading of the vinyl reveals some light crackle throughout again, it is slightly better than Side One in my opinion although it is quite a close match. It is quite low level crackle again. There are no jumps or skips. Very Good Plus condition audibly.

THE SLEEVE FRONT CONDITION :- The cover reveals no writing or stickers and no tears. There is some laminate lifting at the opening edge at the top. A beautifully straight cover with no real ringwear or creasing. A couple of little marks but all in all a lovely front cover. Excellent condition.

THE SLEEVE REAR CONDITION :- The rear cover reveals no writing or stickers and no tears. There is no laminate lift. A beautifully straight cover with just a light ringwear imprint in the centre. A couple of little dirty marks and some light wear in the top left corner but all in all a lovely rear cover also. Excellent condition.

THE LABEL SIDE ONE CONDITION :- Original HMV 1st Press label in excellent order free from stickers or writing and no damage at all, there is evidence of a previous tax code small sticker that has been removed or fell off. Light signs of play around the spindle hole. Excellent condition.
