THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE, WITH THREE REAR FLIP-BACKS, IS IN  VERY GOOD+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS SOME MINOR TANNING TO REAR. THERE IS A SMALL SCUFFS TO EACH OF THE TOP & BOTTOM EDGES. THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS FULLY LEGIBLE AND THIS ALBUM WILL LOOK GREAT ON YOUR RACK. THE PROBLEM THAT LETS THIS SLEEVE DOWN IS THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER ‘PROTECTED’ THE OPENING EDGES WITH CLEAR TAPE. THIS TAPE HAS NOW FALLEN OFF LEAVING STAINS AND MARKS ON FRONT AND BACK. IT IS NOT TOO BAD AT ALL ON THE FRONT BUT THE ‘STRIPE’ ON THE BACK SHOW CLEARLY.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL TRACING-PAPER LINED “EMITEX” INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME VERY LIGHT WEAR, A COUPLE OF MINOR WRINKLES AND SOME SLIGHT DISCOLOURATION.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT BOTH SIDES PLAYED PERFECTLY AND THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. FABTASTIC!!

THE LABELS

THE YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS.
