CONDITION
RECORD IS LOVELY VISUALLY STILL WITH A DEEP GLOSSY LIKE NEW RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT. I CAN SEE SEVERAL LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS MAINLY ON SIDE 2, BUT ONLY WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER LIGHT, THEY ARE NOT FEELABLE AND NO EFFECT ON PLAYBACK.
THEREFORE A GREAT AUDIO EXPERIENCE WHEN PLAYTESTED ON MY REGA TURNTABLE, SLIGHTEST STATIC AT RUN INS ONLY, LOVELY !!!
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LAMINATED RECORD SLEEVE IS THE FIRST PRINTING & IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL GLOSSY CONDITION , SMALLEST CORNER RUB PRESENT WITH AN UNCRUSHED SEAM AND NO LAMINATE LIFT, ONLY CREASING. THE SPINE IS STILL FULLY LEGIBLE, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS CLEAN AND DEFINED. NO WRITING OR RIPS , LOVELY EXAMPLE !! (SEE ALL PICS)
ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN FRESH CLEAN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME MILD CREASING THROUGH STORAGE, BUT NO SPLITS !
FIRST PRESS PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN NICE CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW SPINDLE MARKS CONFINED TO THE DISC CENTRE.
SO IN CONCLUSION, A RARE CLEAN CONDITION UK FIRST PRESS BUT THE VINYL ! SUPER EXAMPLE OF THIS FIRST EVER PRESS, 57 YEAR OLD ICONIC ALBUM
