SO FINALLY HERE`S WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR:

ARTIST: MUSHROOM

TITLE: EARLY ONE MORNING

LABEL: HAWK  HALPX  116

COUNTRY: UK

YEAR: 1973

CONDITION:

COVER: LAMINATED GATEFOLD. HAS QUITE SOME WEAR: SOME CREASES (visible especially along spine) AND WEAR TO CORNERS; ALSO TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE STAINS OF TAPE; INSIDE GATEFOLD BOTTOM EDGE HAS 3 SMALL TEARS (possibly/probably when tape was removed). NO MAJOR DEFECTS LIKE RIPS OR SPLITS. ALL IN ALL WELL USED BUT STILL SOLID AND PRESENTABLE. SEE PICTURES BELOW!! I GRADE THIS AS VG-

VINYL VISUAL: VINYL LOOKS REALLY WELL USED AND NOT PROPERLY CARED FOR: LOTS OF SURFACE MARKS AND FAINT SCRATCHES (luckily only very few of these are faintly feelable with fingernail),BUT NOTHING TOO BAD/DEEP. I THINK THIS DOES NOT LOOK BETTER THAN SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FAIR AND GOOD (rather tending to fair)

VINYL AUDIO: THANK TO HIGH QUALITY EARLY 70`s VINYL THIS SOUNDS VERY MUCH BETTER THAN ONE WOULD EXPECT!!! OK,THERE IS SOME CRACKLING EVIDENT THROUGHOUT BOTH SIDES,THIS ALMOST VANISHES IN LOUDER PARTS AND IS MORE OBVIOUS IN QUIETER PASSAGES BUT NEVER TOO ANNOYING. THERE ARE NO HEAVY OR REPEATING CLICKS AND NO STICKS AND NO JUMPS. STILL ENJOYABLE!!! HARDLY ANY GROOVEWEAR/DISTORTION,SOUND IS STILL VERY CLEAR! SIDE 1 PLAYS A HINT BETTER THAN SIDE 2. I GRADE THE AUDIO QUALITY OF THIS RECORD VERY SRICTLY AS G+ to VG- FOR S.1 AND G(+) to G+ FOR S.2    MY GRADINGS ARE GUARANTEED AND I OFFER 100% REFUND IF NOT ENTIRELY HAPPY

OTHER: ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE WITH SPLITS LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE AND TAPED BOTTOM;CREASES AND LIGHT BROWNING OF AGE.  G  see pics below
