Stamper codes: 2/RL & 2/GH

Housed in a front laminated, 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed stereo cover, with a tri-flipback rear panel.
Complete with original red & white inner-sleeve advertising other contemporary EMI LPs.
CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & bright pair bearing a small number of light, well-aimed spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Super-clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath halogen light reveals a few harmless wispy paper hairlines from inner-sleeve removal/storage, but no scratches or any other issues.
Audio: MINT -
Sparingly and carefully played with on good equipment only, the sound quality throughout is clean & unworn with no trace of any groove/playwear, crackle or even any ticks or clicks. Even the easily worn 'Michelle' plays superbly. We guarantee that all tracks on this high-quality pressing will not fail to impress even the most demanding listener.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A beautiful clean & strong example with a sparkling, unworn high-gloss front panel laminate bearing just a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle, a couple of light wrinkles to the lower corner and one towards the upper edge. All corners are in great shape and both opening edges are unworn. The exposed rear panel is perfectly clean & snow-white with no blemishes of any kind anywhere. All flipbacks are clean & intact and all seams and the spine are in perfect condition.
