Remarkably for its age the vinyl still has sheen and for the most part plays through with strong early press audio. Noticeable click on track 1 side A & a couple of quick jumps on love me do side B. Otherwise audio is strong and impressive 60's mono on heavyweight vinyl. There are hairlines and surface scuffs under the lamp. There are some surface scratches some which are more noticeable than others under the lamp but none feel able and none that really detract from general playback. Labels have no stickers or writing, lightest spindle wear to the centres. Plain white poly lined inner sleeve with patent No. has no splits but has light age related yellowing and creases. New one will be provided also. Outer front laminated flip back sleeve with Angus & Ernest credits has no splits, stickers or writing. Sleeve is thick card, small tear forming opening of rear sleeve, some of rear flip back has wear. Readable thin spine with scuffs to corners. Laminate scuffs and light age related marks but when you consider how old this actually is it is not in bad shape really at all.

General UK record collector grading..

Vinyl: VG - downgraded for two quick jumps

Sleeve: VG

Inner: VG -

All records are properly play tested unless otherwise stated and inspected under a bright halogen lamp. I use the standard UK record collector grading system appreciating that opinions differ. I never add more than one + or - to my gradings and never grade a record as M unless its new or sealed.
