This is a beautiful set, the jacket is solid but does have some handling wear in the form of slight wrinkles and such and the title seam bottom corner is crimped a bit.  The photos of the vinyl were taken in bright sunlight, this is why the labels are slightly over exposed.  Anyone in need of more or better photos need just e-mail me at davecirca1959@yahoo.com....I can have requested angles out to you within 2 hours.  I ask that you take a look at the photos of labels as the dead wax has NO SCUFF LINES within that margin, this is a great first indicator of vinyl condition.  This is the earliest pressing with NO EMI credits at 9 O'clock on the labels.  I have about 10 of these sets and if anyone wishes to see a nicer jacket (as this is the one that is original to these records) just let me know, I have many different numbers but nothing under 150,000.

VINYL  is VISUALLY GRADED and S1 & S2 are EXCELLENT + and are PLAY GRADED as EXCELLENT ++ there is a smattering of crackle to be heard between some tracks, but not nearly all....there are NO jumps or loud pops, NO scratches and very little paper scuffing or handling wear, there is still a fair amount of rainbow sheen and both sides play quite nicely under a light tone arm and even better with a couple of grams weight added.  The only songs that have a bit more crackle during the tracks are <>     but it is never very bad.  I play grade at various volumes and have enjoyed these at every setting.

VINYL  is VISUALLY GRADED and S3 & S4 EXCELLENT + and are PLAY GRADED as EXCELLENT ++  for all intensive purposes the two sides are pretty much identical to the first two.  No heavy scuffs and No scratches to be felt by fingertips, there is a good bit of suface scuffing to be seen under sunlight but this rarely creates any more than light crackle randomly...No repeaters, Jumps or Skips

GARROD & LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD JACKET GRADES as EXCELLENT as it has NO ring wear though their is a clear impression of the albums in the jacket (see photo), NO seam splits, the title seam is legible but is also a bit collapsed about half way

LABELS S1 thru S4 are GRADED NEAR MINT with NO writing or rips of any kind, very light wear at the spindle holes

BLACK INNER SLEEVS are GRADED as VERY GOOD PLUS with only slight, small folds and a few tiny tears with the usual handling wear, I have the LP's in lined white inners and have for years

POSTER is worn but untorn, folds are worn but not split, otherwise clean and original to the set                    PHOTOS are MINT MINUS and very clean, No holes or tape residue
