RECORD EXCELLENT

SLEEVE. EXCELLENT

INNER SWIRL SLEEVE EXCELLENT.

The Record is in excellent condition. Has a Very Good vinyl surface, there are a number of very light surface marks/scuffs which are visible under a very bright light, the record plays excellent. The Labels are excellent, Black and White Vertigo Swirl. Both Labels are very clean and show minmum signs of any spindle marking and there is no wear to the centre hole, There is no writing, and there are no stickers on the labels.

The record plays very well, awesome sound quality. there is some very slight background noise detected, particularly to the lead ins where needle has dropped to start of each side, and occassionally on quieter sections, as is always the case on records that have been played, plays superb, and there is virtually no background noise at all detected between the tracks, which again is always a good sign. The Vinyl surface is excellent, some light surface marks as noted above, very clean with an excellent sheen, superb quite thick heavy duty vinyl. 

The Sleeve is excellent condition, Very Rare Non-Laminated matt finish to external cover of sleeve and matt to the internal. Virtually all but the Very First issues were released with a Laminated sleeve, this is obviously one of the very first pressings of Paranoid. Despite the matt finish sleeve and incresed chances of being worn, this sleeve is in excellent condition.

There is very little wear to the edges, small amount of wear to extreme corners of cover. Fabulous Gatefold Sleeve, only the lightest of edge wear, light bottom spine corner wear. The spine is excellent, very little surface edge wear, all text is still intact. No writing or nasty creases. very tiny surface crease to top right of cover, hardly noticable, and sleeve has what is probably the very original price label, a small circular white label price of £2.40, which could be carefully removed with luke warm water, if required, but not necessary.  Inside of sleeve is excellent, vey clean, no writing, perfect condition. Sleeve in fabulous Condition. 

Record has the original Swirl Inner sleeve which is in excellent condition. Has an ornate Book and Record Dealers stamp on one side and a price and record code number in biro.
