(US: Argo 5485, 1964; D.J. Copy)
Vinyl
Record conditon (A-side): Excellent - (plays Excellent ++++)
Record conditon (B-side): Very good + (plays Excellent +++)
Labels condition: Excellent (A); Very good + (B)
Deletion hole: No
The vinyl on the A-side has a few very light "spiders web's". The vinyl on the B-side has a medim number of more prominent play signs and scuffs (visual condition).
The A-side performs like new throughout. The B-side plays very close to perfect, with some exceedingly faint ticks close to the beginning (sound quality).
This record was sold to me with a medium-sized sticker on either label - in a similar position on each. I removed the sticker on the A-side label without much of a problem, although it did leave some minor residue (see scan, two o'clock). The sticker on the B-side label looked a bit more difficult to remove so I left it there. It almost definitely dates from it's American radio station days, becaus it's numbered (10038) and someone with dubious taste has added 'pop' to the sticker.
This record has been played on both sides to verify condition, but there's a full money-back guarantee on all my sales, and I'll refund anyone who isn't totally captivated. The majority are sent by 'signed for' delivery (fully inclusive in the P&P cost).
