THIS ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING ON THE RED DECCA LABEL WITH UN-BOXED DECCA LOGOS ON EACH LABEL IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. THE GENTLEMAN WHO SOLD ME THIS RECORD INFORMED ME THAT HE ONLY BOUGHT IT BECAUSE HE ‘FELT HE SHOULD’ AS DAVY HAD PLAYED AT HIS COLLEGE.

I HAVE PLAYED IT ONCE MYSELF TO CONFIRM THE CONDITION IS AS GOOD AS THE VISUAL INSPECTION SUGGESTS.

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN VERY STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND A FEW TINY WRINKLE MARKS IN THE LAMINATE ALONG THE SPINE AND BOTTOM EDGE. THE LAMINATE IS JUST BEGINNING TO LIF A BIT IN SOME AREAS. THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR TANNING TO THE REAR. ALL THE EDGES AND THE CORNERS ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT. THE TEXT ON THE ‘FLUTED’ SPINE IS ALL PERFECTLY & FULLY LEGIBLE.
