CONDITION
THIS RECORD IS EXCELLENT + LOVELY WITH A DEEP GLOSSY LIKE NEW RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT. PLAYED SCARCELY SINCE 1975 PRIOR TO MY TEST PRESS TODAY !! ITS IN LOVELY CONDITION !!
I CAN SEE A COUPLE OF FEINT SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS / HAIRLINES ON SIDE 1, PURELY COSMETIC DEFINATELY NOT FEELABLE AND VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND ONLY WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT, SIDE 2 HAS JUST ONE FEINT HAIRLINE BETWEEN TRACK 2-3, AGAIN DIFFICULT TO SEE UNLESS TILTED IN LIGHT ALSO NO EFFECT AT ALL ON AUDIO PLAYBACK WHATSOEVER (SEE PICS) ITS LOVELY !!
THE CENTRE LABELS, WITH THE RARE 1ST PRESS MISCREDIT ON TRACK 5, ARE IN SUPERB NEAR MINT CONDITION (SEE PICS) WITHJUST A FEW SPINDLE TRAILS, CONFIRMING VERY FEW PLAYS (INCLUDING TODAYS TEST PLAY) IN THE LAST 48 YEARS !!!
THEREFORE OBVIOUSLY , A GREAT AUDIO EXPERIENCE WAS ACHEIVED WHEN TEST PLAYED TODAY !!
THE 1ST GARROD & LOFTHOUSE OUTER SLEEVE IS VERY NEAR MINT ALSO,
THE INNER LYRIC DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE AND THE POSTCARD ARE ALSO VERY NEAR MINT DUE TO ONLY LEAVING THE OUTER SLEEVE ON 3-4 OCCASSIONS IN 48 YEARS !! SUPERB EXAMPLE
SO, IN CONCLUSION, A REALLY LOVELY EXAMPLE, NOT MANY LIKE THIS COME UP FOR SALE, AND RARELY IN THIS CONDITION ! PLEASE DONT MISS OUT !!
100% YOU WILL NEVER NEED TO UPGRADE FROM THIS RARE COPY
