Description

This copy is absolutely superb. I have bought and owned this copy from new in 1972. 


The internal sleeve is immaculate except *

The external sleeve still has its original cellophane with only the right hand side ever slit to get the record out.

As well as the original cellophane, the external sleeve has always been kept by me in a polythene LP cover to keep the external sleeve immaculate. However this does make the photo of the external sleeve look strange and reflective because you have the polythene cover over the cellophane.

The external sleeve has a very minor crease on the front about 6mm long about two inches down on the left hand side. Very minor but I thought I would mention it.
* Both the external sleeve and internal sleeve have a small hole approx 1 inch up and 1 inch down from the bottom right hand side of the sleeves, but very unobtrusive. This hole was a common feature on imported LPs. You can hardly see it on the external sleeve because of the polythene LP cover.
The vinyl LP itself is also superb; I am struggling to see any surface scratch whatsoever and that is even when I hold the LP at an angle to the light. I have played this LP rarely because I used to play singles more than LPs in those days
NOW FOR THE BEST TRACKS:- - IF I COULD ONLY BE SURE (OF COURSE!) - KEEP ON KEEPING ON (NF Porter) - OH BABY - I LIKE WHAT YOU GIVE - GROOVIN' OUT ON LIFE
The pic of Side 2 label is shaky so the wording looks not right - please be assured it's my shaky photo and the wording is in fact printed perfect as Side 1 is.
