THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL BLACK MATT SLEEVE "Printed and made by MacNeill Press Ltd."
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL DIE-CUT, BLACK INNER SLEEVE WITH UK PATENT NUMBER AND "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" TEXT PRINTED IN SILVER
Side 1: 21ST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAN / PEOIRA / THE SAILORS TALE
Side 2: EARTHBOUND / GROON
LABELS: EXCELLENT++
Clean, unmarked labels with no real spindle traces and only light rubbing around the spindle hole
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+ / NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and shine like-new.
There are some marbling-type blemishes within the vinyl on Side One (quite common, I've seen this before) - of no audio impact
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
An absolutely stunning set "captured live on an Ampex stereo cassette fed from a Kelsey Morris custom built mixer ... in the rain from the back of a Volkswagen truck." - and it sounds like it - but all the better - it's loud, it's rough, it's raw and it's incredibly immediate and exciting - fantastic stuff with some exceptional jazz sax from Mel Collins.
My play-check at very loud volume revealed no audio issues of note whatsoever - it plays beautifully from start to finish
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
A fine example of this incredibly easily worn sleeve being, as it is, untreated and black.
There is some storage rubbing to the bottom edge and some very light ring but the whole sleeve is good and solid with a clean, clear spine
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
The original black inner which has rough textured outer surfaces and smooth inner ones is clean and unmarked with no splits
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH NEW ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
