THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL DEEPLY LAMINATED BOX COVER “Printed and made by Howards Printers (Slough) Ltd” WITH EMBOSSED LETTERING
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED VERTIGO INNER SLEEVE DATE CODED '0671' (June, 1971)
AND LARGE MATT SIX PANEL BAND POSTER

Side 1: SWEET LEAF / AFTER FOREVER / EMBRYO / CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE
Side 2: ORCHID / LORD OF THIS WORLD / SOLITUDE / INTO THE VOID

LABELS: EXCELLENT+++
Clean, unmarked labels - just some light spindle traces (not many - this copy has not been over-played at all)
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+++
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen - just some light hairlines visible under bright light - of no audible significance
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Apart from a little surface on the run-ins and a little on the gentle acoustic "Orchid" (nothing major and nothing I found at all intrusive) the whole set plays beautifully throughout and my play-check at loud volume found noting else to fault the crystal clear sound - great copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+++
The box sleeve is uncrushed with a deep glossy sheen to the surfaces - very little wear at all and both the top and bottom opening flaps are perfect with no splits or tears - a very fine example indeed, probably as close to NM as you are likely to find
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The poly-lined 'negative' swirl inner has discoloured around the edges with age but is otherwise in unmarked condition with just a tiny break at the top edge (incredibly minor)
POSTER: MINT
The poster has never been hung and hardly ever handled - as clean, sharp and fresh as the day it was made
