THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED, EJD SLEEVE, WITH TWO REAR FLIP-BACKS, IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS SOME TANNING & LIGHT DISCOLOURATION TO THE REAR. THERE IS SOME RING WEAR. THERE IS A NEATLY REPAIRED TEAR WHICH EXTENDS APPROXIMATELY 2” IN FROM THE OPENING ON THE BACK. THERE IS ANOTHER SMALL NICK FURTHER DOWN AT THE OPENING ON THE BACK. SOME OF THE LAMINATE HAS PEELED OFF. THERE IS RUBBING TO THE CORNERS. THERE ARE CLEAR SIGNS OF HANDLING.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY LIGHT MARKS, WHICH DO NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT THE SOUND QUALITY ON THIS EXTRAORDINARY RECORDING. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THIS RARE RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

THE LABELS

THE RED & SILVER, GROOVED RCA LABELS, WITH THE LARGE ROUND, SILVER SPOT RCA LOGOS AND ‘RED SEAL LIVING STEREO” TEXT, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH ONLY A FEW TINY SPINDLE MARKS OVER THE TWO LABELS.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY GRADED.
