CONDITION
Disc
Visual: EXCELLENT+
A well preserved copy which appears extremely fresh and in mint condition in strong daylight. Under a bright halogen desk light there are some whispy sleeve removal marks and some very faint and minor non sounding surface marks which do not effect play and are only visible when the record is tilted in certain directions. The heavy duty vinyl lies 100% flat on the turntable.
Audio: EXCELLENT+
A stunning sounding copy with little to no surface noise audible. Both runs in on either side are completely silent. Amazing clarity throughout. There are no pops or ticks and the record does not jump or stick.
Labels: EXCELLENT+
A great set of labels with only the faintest of spindle trails visible.
Cover
EXCELLENT
An original 1st issue patents pending Garrod & Lofthouse cover. The back panel is free from any writing and shows only minimal signs of ageing. The front panel has some faint thumbnail creasing towards the opening edge. The spine is in nr mint condition with the text undamaged. All in all an extremely well preserved cover and severely graded at excellent. I’m sure most sellers would grade as mint-.
Inner-sleeve Excellent
Original and correct Emitex rice paper inner.
