MATRIX Numbers. (Stamped)

Side One:      XEX 421-1N

Side Two:      XEX 422-1N  mother stamp L at 3 o'clock of label 

CONDITION: (covers graded first)            Fair/Good + to VG- (visual) VG++ (audio)

Cover: has definitely seen better days, has ring and edge wear, with the bottom seam split and a part of the flip that folds over is missing. There are old tape marks on rear by opening side and along the bottom. The right hand corner with Angus Mcbean credit is damaged so it just reads Angus Mc

Original Emitex Inner: VG-  has browning from age with creasing but no seam splits or tears. there are thought some light stains on either side. Still not bad for inner that is 45 yrs old

Record: OK the record has been played many times, and has surface marks and some light surface scratches, but still plays a very strong VG++ with no skips or jumps just some light surface noise here and there, No real distortion to worry about, due to the heavy vinyl these original pressings were made of. The vinyl lays perfectly flat on my turn table. I have graded this vinyl as Good + to VG- visually but VG++ on audio sound.... it would serve as a Good playable copy or upgrade if you have a better cover. ...  and with the price of Mint copies reaching over the £400 mark this is a bargain for someone. I am only selling this copy because I have managed to find a slightly better copy for my self. This album has been played through twice just to make up this description and still sounds Very Good indeed and well worth a bid..

Labels:  Right now to the labels, OK, the A.side has the MT tax code on it which is worn, and there is some spindle wear around centre hole that worn away some of the title. (see scans) B.side is pretty much the same, spindle wear around the centre hole etc...

Alright then that's about it, I hope I have described this album in full.

Apart from the cover this is a Very Good playable copy... any questions.. just ask...             

All records are visually graded under harsh electric light. I am conservative with my grading.

I list a lot of items as EX, but most will be nearer to Mint- , and any item listed as VG, will still be that,  a VERY GOOD playable keeper copy! Any item graded VG or below will be play checked and described to a high standard!

So bid with confidence….. please check my feedback!
