EX-. I grade this as such, due to a few VERY light hairline marks to both sides and a couple of scuffs.
....SOUNDS SUPERB!...
Only a tiny bit of crackle in the background really not worth mentioning as she is very quiet on the run-ins and inbetween tracks
Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y
Lovely and rich sound.
Still has the glorious sheen and is lovely and flat.
Wonderful deep bass start for Act Naturally on side 2-makes you smile!
Labels: VG++. Lovely and clear... Quite a few light spindle marks-visible only when angled towards the light.
"KT" tax code raised and bold to side 1.
Has the 1st type Sans Serf text to side 1 BUT Roman type 2 to side 2.
Outer text "The Gramophone co.LTD"
DOES have the "Sold in the uk.." text.
Really nice-Only light hole wear and no writing or scratches etc.
Please see the detailed images provided.
Cover: VG+. A very nice example. Lovely and bright.
Strong & clear spine.
Minimal spidering to the laminate! Only a few very small fingers of spidering eminating from the spine and a few crescents of spidering near tthe opening.
Only very slight rubbing to the corners.
Please see the detailed images provided!
I am being very critical
Wondefully strong Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks.
ALSO HAS THE "PATENTS PENDING" STATEMENT TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.
Inner: VG++. It is the original "Use Emitex" inner, with just some creasing.
CERTAINLY NO SPLITS/TEARS OR WRITING!
She has certainly kept this record in a wonderful condition.
