THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION TO BOTH SIDES. LABELS HAVE JUST LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE. (VISIBLE MAINLY UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT), THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR PRESENT. LABELS CARRY "THE GRAMMOPHONE CO" RIM TEXT AND "SOLD IN UK" TEXT. LABELS ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND ALL WORDING IS CRISP AND VIVID.
THE GLOSSY HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS REALLY SUPERB, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE DISPLAYS EXPECTED SURFACE MARKS, HOWEVER NONE ARE SEVERE AND NONE AFFECT AUDIO, MOST ARE RELATT OLY VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT.
AUDIO IS SUPERB.... THERE IS SOME LIGHT CRACKLE EVIDENT TO BOTH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND SOME TRACK GROOVES BUT THE MONO SOUND IS STILL CLEAR AND CRISP.... STILL A JOY TO LISTEN TO.
THE ORIGIANL EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB GIVEN ITS AGE AND DISPLAYS JUST VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING.
THE OUTER "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" PATENTS PENDING LAMINATED SLEEVE IS REALLY SUPERB IT DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT BUT MINIMAL CREASING TO THE FRONT. THE SLEEVE IS INTACT AND ALL SEAMS ARE FLAT WITH NO LIFTING. THE OPENING EDGE HAS A HINT OF HANDLING PRESENT AND THERE IS SOME EXPECTED CORNER "BUMPS".. THE SPINE IS STILL PERFECT, IT IS RIDGID AND ALL WORDING IS READABLE AND CRISP. THE REAR SHOWS A FEW HANDLING MARKS . THE SLEEVE IS FREE FROM WRITING E.T.C.
ALL THIS COMES HOUSED IN ITS ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE NEMS PLASTIC SLEEVE. THESE SLEEVES WHERE ISSUED BY BRIAN EPSTEINS RECORD STORE IN LIVERPOOL WITH AN YALBUM PURCHASED FROM THERE. THE SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT, IT HAS LIGHT CREASING AND TWO SMALL TEARS TO THE BOTTOM BUT I DOUBT THIS WILL DETER FROM IT RARITY.
OVERALL THIS REALLY IS A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS UK MONO1ST LOUD CUT PRESSING WHICH OFFERS SUPERB LABELS AND VINYL, SUPER SLEEVE AND ITS HIGHLY SOUGHTAFTER AND VERY RARE NEMS SLEEVE.
