Vinyl:
VG+!
Quality 145g vinyl.
WOW!! What an absolute pleasure it was to listen to. Great sound reproduction TURN IT UP!!!
She has just a few incredibly light marks to her-more visible when angled towards the light. There is a light scuff over tracks 2-4 on side 1, but I didn't notice anything on playback, infact I noticed BARELY ANY background noise!...Even the run-ins were as close to silent as you would hope for...MAGICAL!
I did notice a tiny, tiny micro skip in the middle of track 1, side 1...which is why I have given her a VG+ grading, rather than an EX....I am sure this will play over with a slightly heavier stylus than mine, but even as it is, I didn't find it troubling at all and you really had to listen out for it.
Clean and clear highs with wonderful cavity shaking deep bass...simply gorgeous.
AN UTTER JOY TO LISTEN TOO
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN


Labels:
EX-.
 Gorgeous deep red UNBOXED DECCA Mono labels.
NO WRITING!
Minimal hole wear, just light spindle marks (please see the detailed photo's).
As usual for the 1st pressings, Richards credit is misspelt as "Richard."
NOW then....The really special thing about this VERY EARLY 1ST pressing, is the absence of the DECCA groove. This groove was faded out by 1968.
A lovely example.


Cover:
VG+.
 Gatefold white/cream cover with gold bordering. There are around 6 small half crescents to the front & back laminated gatefold; near the opening. There's also some smallfingers of spidering eminating from the spine, as well as the spine being a bit squashed near the album name(again, please see the detailed photo's). There is also a line to the top right and left of the front panel and some smaller ones to the back...Nothing bad at all.
I AM VERY CRITICAL
It remains a solid cover-with some light rubbing to the corners but still has the vibrant inner picture. No feathering to the opening.
All in all a VERY SOLID cover.
"SLEEVE PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED"

PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES AND READ MY FEEDBACK FOR HONEST GRADINGS AND HAPPY CUSTOMERS.

Inner:
EX+.
 It is an ORIGINAL and CORRECT poly lined DECCA inner, with the spotted border.
"MADE IN ENGLAND"
Very light handling wear and very little discolouration.
 NO SPLITS/TEARS OR WRITING.
It really has done it's job in keeping this record in great condition.
