DISC 1

THE VERY DARK GREEN APPLE LABLES TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT REVEALS NO MORE THAN A FEW VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT TO ALL SIDES. LABELS ARE SPOTLESSY CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE.BOTH SIDES ARE EXTREMLEY BRIGHT WITH NO FLAWS WHATSOEVER!.... LABELS DO NOT  FEATURE "AN EMI RECORDING" TEXT AND DISPLAY A GENUINE "AS NEW" APPEARENCE. 

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS EXCELLENT...THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE THE VINYL DOES DISPLAY SOME VERY VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND THE ODD NEEDLE MARK, HOWEVER NONE ARE SERIOUS OF REELABLE. THE BRIGHT VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND NO NEEDLE LIFT WHEN PLAYED. THE VINYL HAS SUFFERED NO DULLING TO ITS ORIGINAL SHINY SURFACE AND IS COMPLETELY UNBLEMISHED.

AUDIO IS SUPERB... WITH JUST A HINT OF CRACKLE EVIDENT TO RUN IN/OFF GROOVES THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY WITH NO STICKS, POPS OR JUMPS.

THE ORIGINAL FACTORY FOLDED POSTER IS EXCELLENT.THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE POSTER WHICH FEATURES THE "LIPSTICK" KISS (LATER ISSUES DONT HAVE THIS). THE POSTER SHOWS LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING AND HAS SUFFERED A SMALL SEAM SPLIT.
