THE SLEEVE

THE ICONIC, FULLY LAMINATED, GARROD & LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD PICTURE SLEEVE, WITH INTERNAL FLIPBACKS ALONG THE TOP EDGE, IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE AND VERY MINOR BRUISING TO THE TWO TOP CORNERS. THERE IS NO RUBBING, THERE ARE NO TEARS AND NO SPLITS. THE EDGES ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THIS SLEEVE HAS OBVIOUSLY ONLY BEEN HANDLED INFREQUENTLY AND CAREFULLY OVER THE LAST 52 YEARS AND IT IT STILLS CREAKS WHEN YOU OPEN IT!!

THE RED & WHITE SWIRLING PSYCHEDELIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR, VERY MINOR TANNING AND SOME SMALL CREASES. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND NO TEARS. THIS INNER SLLEVE IS ALMOST ALWAYS TORN OR SPLIT!

THE INSERT

THE ‘FOOL’ CUT-OUT INSERT IS IN MINT CONDITION AND APPEARS TO BE FLAWLESS!!

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE UN-BANDED, HEAVY GLOSSY VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS ALL-TIME CLASSIC AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT BOTH GREAT SIDES. THIS IS THE BEST SOUNDING STEREO PRESSING I HAVE EVER LISTENED TO.
