THE DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN TRULY STUNNING CONDIITON. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO SPINDLE  MARK PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE. THE LABELS ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN WITH ABSOLUTLEY NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES. ALL WORDING IS PERFECT AND UNSPOLIT AND THE LABELS RETAIN THEIR DEEP COLOUR AND ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

THE GLOSSY HEAVIER WEIGHT VINYL IS ALSO STUNNING. THIS ALBUM HAS CLEALRY ONLY RECEIVED A LIMITED NUMBER OF CAREFUL PLAYS AND THEREFORE IT DISPLAYS  JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL SURFACE MARKS WHICH ARE VERY WISPY AND ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A STRONG LIGHT.., IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT YHIS VINYL PORTRAYS A MINT APPEARENCE. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND THERE IS NO DULLING OR OTHER IMPERFECTIONS TO THE PLAYING SURFACE.

AUDIO IS FLAWLESS BOTH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND THE TRACK GROOVES ARE SILENT AND THE VINYL PLAYES THROUGH WITHOUT ANY  DISTORTION PRESENT AND THERE IS CERTAINLY NO STICKS, POPS OR JUMPS EVIDENT...THE AUDIO IS CLEAR AND CRISP THROUGHOUT.     

THE ORIGIANL BLACK INNER IS SUPERB WITH JUST A HINT OF AGE AND HANDLING EVIDENT AND THE ODD LIGHT CREASE....FAR FAR BETTER THAN WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED.

THE OUTER FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE IS A TRULY SUPERB AND TOP QUALITY EXAMPLE DISPLAYING A STRONG FRONT LAMINATED PANEL, THE PANEL FEATURES JUST THE ODD VERY SMALL EDGE WRINKLE BUT NO CREASES, THESE EDGE WRINKLES  ARE MORE PROMINENT WHEN SLEEVE IS ANGLED IN A CERTAIN LIGHT. THE FRONT MAINTAINS ITS ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS WITH BOLD AND SOLID COLOURS AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISCOLOURATION PRESENT, THE FRONT DOES DISPLAY AN IMPRESSION WHER ETHE VINYL HAS SAT IN THE SLEEVE OVER THE YEARS (VISIBLE IN PICTURES) AND IF I HAS TO CRITICISE THIS SLEEVE THEN THIS WOULD BE MY ONLY CRITICAL POINT. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT AND TRUE WITH NO SIGNS OF HANDLING EVIDENT , THERE ARE NO CORNER BUMPS PRESENT . THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS ALSO SUPERB,FEATURING THE CORRECT 1ST ISSUE RED LINES WIT NO "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" CREDIT AND DISPLAYING JUST LIGHT BUT MINIMAL HANDLING MARKS BUT NO DISCOLOURATION ,THE REAR IS QUITE STUNNING BUT AGAIN HAS THE SAME IMPRESSION AS THE FRONT.  ALL THREE FLIPBACK ARE PERFECT WITH NO CREASES AND NO LIFTING. THE REAR IS STILL ITS GENUINE BRIGHT WHITE COLOUR. THE SPINE IS PERFECT WITH A FEW TINY CREASES BUT NO WEAR AND WITH ITS ORIGINAL FACTORY PINCHED ENDS STILL INTACT, ALL WORDING IS PRISTINE AND READABLE.....

ALTHOUGH  1ST ISSUE UK MONO COPIES TEND TO BE MORE SOUGHT-AFTER THAN THE STEREO VERSION, A STEREO VERSION IN THIS CONDITION WILL RARELY SURFACE FOR SALE AND WILL CERTAINLY ENHANCE ANY COLLECTION.
