CONDITION 

RECORD IS EXCELLENT, , LOVELY WITH A DEEP GLOSSY LIKE NEW RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT. OBVIOUSLY PLAYED IN THE LAST 54 YEARS BUT I CAN ONLY SEE A COUPLE OF VERY FEINT HAIRLINES EACH SIDE, BUT ONLY WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT, NOT FEELABLE, JUST COSMETIC NO EFFECT ON AUDIO PLAYBACK,  (SEE PICS)

THEREFORE A GREAT AUDIO EXPERIENCE WHEN PLAYTESTED ON MY REGA TURNTABLE, VERY SLIGHTEST STATIC AT RUN INS ONLY LOVELY !!!

THE EARNEST J DAY GATEFOLD RECORD SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT. 

THE FIRST LAMINATED PRINT WITH FULLY WORKING WHEEL. SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL GLOSSY CONDITION , SMALLEST CORNER RUB & LAMINATE CREASING PRESENT WITH AN UNCRUSHED SEAM AND NO LAMINATE LIFT THE SPINE IS STILL FULLY LEGIBLE,  AND THE OPENING EDGE IS CLEAN AND DEFINED.(SEE ALL PICS)

INNER IS ALSO IN CLEAN CONDITION WITH SOME VERY MILD CORNER CREASING &  (SEE ALL PICS)

ATLANTIC PLUM LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION (SEE PICS) WITH JUST A FEW FEINT SPINDLE MARKS CONFIRMING FEW PLAYS IN 52 YEARS

SO, IN CONCLUSION, NOT ONLY A VERY RARE SUPER CONDITION UK FIRST PRESS BUT IMPORTANTLY THE VINYL SOUNDS GREAT!!!!
