THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABLES TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION . VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE APPEARS TO BE JUST VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE A LIGHT STICKER RESIDUE MARK TO SIDE ONE BUT IT SHOULD BE STRESSED THAT THIS APPEARS MORE VIVID IN THE PICTURES THAN IT ACTUALLY IS . LABELS CARRY "THE GRAMMOPHONE" CO RIM "AND SOLD IN UK" TEXT. SIDE TWO HAS EMBOSSED KT TAX CODE. LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN AND ALL WORDING IS PERFECT WITH NO FADING OR DULLING.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS SUPERB, WITH JUST VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS.... ALTHOUGH THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED NON ARE SEVERE AND NONE ARE FEELABLE AND MOST ARE REALLY ONLY VISIBLE WHEN THE VINYL IS EXAMINED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT. THE VINYL LIES FLAT AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF WARPING.
AUDIO IS SUPERB...THERE IS SOME VERY MILD CRACKLE EVIDENT TO BOTH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND TO SOME OF THE QUIETER PARTS BUT NOTHING THAT SPOILS THE LISTENING ENJOYMENT. THE VINYL OTHERWISE PLAYS THROUGH CLEARLY AND WITH NO POPS, SKIPS OR JUMPS.
THE ORIGINAL WHITE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" INNER ISSTUNNING. IT IS STILL ITS ORIGINAL BRIGHT WHITE COLOUR AND STILL VERY VERY CRISP WITH JUST VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING.
THE "E.J DAY" LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN AMAZING CONDITION .DESIGNED BY KLAUS VOORMAN, THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS JUST THE ODD VERY TINY EDGE WRINKLE. THE FRONT PANEL IS STILL ITS TRUE BRIGHT WHITE COLOUR WITH NO YELLOWING AND HAS RETAINED ITS DEEP AND VIBRANT SHEEN. THERE IS NO EDGE OR CORNER WEAR PRESENT.THE REAR IS FREE FROM ANY RUBBING OR FADING AND ALL SEAMS LIE PREFECTLY FLAT WITH NO LIFTING E.T.C.THE SPINE IS STILL PERFECTLY RIDGID. THE SLEEVE CARRIES THE CORRECT SMALL "MONO" LOGO.....A GENUINE SUPERIOR EXAMPLE.
OVERALL A SUPERB AND VERY DESIRABLE EXAMPLE OF THIS HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER UK MONO 606-1 1ST PRESSING.
