VINYL: VG-

You gotta love these early 60s pressings. Even though the vinyl looks a little worn, it plays great. There are some light hairlines and small marks both sides and the vinyl looks to have reacted to the poly lined inner sleeve as shown in the images but the audio still plays really well. Minimal surface noise, no overpowering hiss or crackle, not repetitive clicking or loud popping. There is some subtle background noise between tracks and sporadic tics but all very minor. There is one very quick skip towards the beginning of track 2 but its not that noticeable. A really enjoyable listen throughout both sides. Loud and punchy audio, superbly pressed and mastered and it really shows.



SLEEVE: G+

 Correct sleeve with the correct positioning of the 'Angus McBean' credit on the front cover, bottom right corner. 

The sleeve is worn with a repair to the bottom seam. The sleeve looks to have split along the back, lower flip-back panels, not the actual bottom edge. There is a thin strip of card stuck inside the sleeve along the bottom edge. Three big celo-tape residue marks on back cover, a few top layer of paper rips, name in biro on back cover. 

 


LABELS: G+

No stickers or writing. Wear to the centre hole. Some marks and scratches. Majority of the print is still readable. Has the Dick James credit on the A-side label.
