ONE OTHER SMALL, LIGHT AND VAGUE MARK TO LABEL TO SIDE TWO.   INNER SLEEVE   RECORD COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL, MEDIUM WEIGHT CARD, PRINTED DARK GREEN AS AN INNER SLEEVE THAT HAS THE LYRICS PRINTED TO BOTH SIDES.   THIS IS NOT THE DOUBLE-SIDED SINGLE PIECE OF CARD AS NORMALLY FOUND WITH THESE EARLY RELEASES BUT ACTUALLY COMES AS A FORMED INNER SLEEVE.   SO THIS MAYBE THE FIRST ISSUE BEFORE GOING OVER TO AN INSERT (AND A CHEAPER OPTION FOR THE RECORD COMPANY I WOULD GUESS!)   IF YOU PUT THE RECORD IN THE SLEEVE THE RUN-IN GROOVE PROTRUDES A LITTLE SO TO HAVE AVOIDED ANY WEAR TO THE LP THE RECORD HAS BEEN STORED IN ITS LIFE INSIDE A FILM-LINED INNER SLEEVE HENCE THE RECORD HAS SO LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PAPER SCUFFS!!  MAY HAVE BEEN CUT A LITTLE SHORT AT THE TIME OF MANUFACTURE (OR AT A LATER STAGE) AND IN ITSELF MAY HAVE LEAD TO COMPANY OFFERING AN INSERT INSTEAD?   ANYWAY, THIS IS IN EXCELLENT+ ORDER WITH NO WEAR SUCH AS CREASING, WRITING, TEARS OR SEAM SPLITS.   THERE IS A LITTLE GENERALISED VAGUE SPOTTING AND THE EDGE OF THE LP CAN BE SEEN ON THE CARD IN PLACES.   AND DO NOT WORRY; I STRICTLY USE THE RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM.
