---------------------------------------
I will try to describe the condition as honestly and accurately as possible.
Side 1
Early One Morning
The Liathdan
Crying
Unborn Child
Johnny The Jumper
I would describe this side as totally mint, with the exception of one very small 4mm mark towards the end of track three.
I don't know what the mark is, is definitely not a scratch, because i've tested it on my Rega deck and it does not affect reproduction at all. Most likely it's a slight pressing mark.
As i say, apart from this visible mark, the rest of Side 1 is amazingly clean, shiny, bright, no finger-marks, no scuffs.....lovely.
Side 2
Potters Wheel
Standing Alone
Devil Among The Tailors
Tenpenny Piece
Drowsey Maggie
King Of Alba
Side 2 is very similar to side 1, clean, bright, shiny vinyl.
It has one visible slight scuff, not a scratch, it doesn't go into the grooves, it's a slight surface scuff, as if someone maybe caught it with a sleeve one time.
It's like a surface scuff, very fine, that runs across the first half of the side, and maybe another very slight scuff in parallel for about 4 cm next to that.
You have to look quite carefully, in good light to see these slight marks, and once again, i tested it on the Planar deck, and could hear no adverse affect whatsoever on the reproduction.
As i say, the condition of the vinyl, on both sides, is really remarkable, someone has really looked after this LP for a long time.
I would sum up the condition of the vinyl overall as near mint, and at very worst, excellent +.
Obviously, these judgements are very subjective, but i think you'd be very hard pressed to find a nicer copy.
The inner sleeve ( see pics ):
original inner sleeve, idiosyncratic handwritten ink text.
In good condition, seams a little worn but not torn or damaged / stained.
The outer, gatefold sleeve :
Very good condition, spine is not worn, two very minor creases on the front running off the spine, some wear to the bottom corners and slight bubbling in the lamination.
Both sides of the cover are nice and clean, not faded. The inside neg. photo is also nice and clean.
NB:
Please
examine all the pics carefully, and make your own judgement before bidding, i won't be able to refund you,
item is sold as described and seen.
The LP will be carefully packed between two stiffeners and sent in a proper 12 " mailer.
I will include extra insurance in the cost of posting.
I'm happy to post to Europe and Worldwide, International signed, see charges.
Worldwide will be £12.95, to include cost of packaging, insurance and signed delivery.
Thanks for looking / bidding . Good luck.
