PCS 3071 "HELP" STEREO COPY STAMPERS 2 OR 2 OD MATRIX XEX 168-1 XEX 169-1 TAX CODE MT SIDE 1 CENTRE
AN EARLY RARE STEREO PRESSING OF THIS ALBUM FROM 1965,GRAMOPHONE RIM TEXT S.I.U.K. LABEL TEXT.
THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE (PATENTS PENDING) LAMINATED ALBUM SLEEVE IS IN REALLY NICE CONDITION ,THE SLEEVE FRONT HAS SOME SMALL CREASES DOWN THE EDGE'S THROUGH HANDLING AND ALSO HAS SOME MINIMAL CREASING AND MINOR WEAR DOWN THE OPENING EDGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE LAMINATION DOESN'T RUN COMPLETELY TO THE EDGE SO IS UNPROTECTED. THE SLEEVE REAR PANEL HAS ITS LAMINATED SEAMS INTACT AND A NICE CLEAN INNER PANEL WITH SOME MINIMAL AGE BROWNING/VERY SLIGHT STAINING IN SMALL AREAS NONE OF WHICH IMPACTS ON THE TEXT OR THE IMAGES ,THE SPINE IS UNCRUSHED AND AGAIN THE TITLE TEXT IS UNDAMAGED AND READABLE
THE EMITEX INNER IS THE CORRECT TISSUE LINED VERSION AND IS FREE FROM ANY WRITING BUT DOES HAVE SOME MINIMAL AGE BROWNING TO THE WHITE AREAS AND ALL SEAMS ARE AS ORIGINAL AND UNTAPED WITH JUST THE USUAL CORNER CREASING THROUGH STORAGE
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL DISC HAS BEEN PLAYED OVER THE YEARS BUT STILL HAS A DECENT SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF HANDLING / SURFACE AND NEEDLE MARKS NONE OF WHICH ARE FEELABLE ,I HAVE PLAYED THE RECORD AND IT DOES PLAY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT WITH THE ODD POP AND CRACKLE BUT IS STILL A GREAT LISTEN THE LABELS ARE IN REALLY GREAT CONDITION FREE FROM ANY WRITING OR STAINING ,THERE ARE SPINDLE MARKS MAINLY TO THE DISC CENTRE BUT ALL TEXT IS READABLE AND THE CENTRE HOLE IN PARTICULAR IS NICELY DEFINED WITH NO REAL VISIBLE WEAR .
A RARE ALBUM IN STEREO AND WOULD MAKE A NICE COLLECTION STARTER TILL THE RARE UNPLAYED / UNMARKED COPY TURNS UP IF EVER. LOW START PRICE WITH NO RESERVE
