SLEEVE:
THE E. J. DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS A STRONG VG+. THESE EARLY SLEEVE WERE NOT LAMINATED SO TEND TO FADE A LITTLE ON THE EDGES FROM AGE AS THIS ONE HAS, OTHERWISE IS EXCEPTIONAL CLEAN, THE CORNERS ARE STRONG BUT HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY ROUNDED OVER TIME, THE SPINE IS VERY GOOD AND THE TITLE CAN BE CLEARLY READ, THE OPENING IS CRISP. OVERALL A VERY RESPECTABLE COVER CONSIDERING ITS 52 YEARS OLD.
VINYL:
THE VINYL IS VG+ CONDITION RETAINING ORIGINAL GLOSS SHEEN. THE PLAYBACK IS EXTREMELY CLEAR, THE VOCALS OF SANDY DENNY ARE CRISP, THE GUITARS AND PERCUSSION PUNCHY AND VIVID. THERE ARE SOME SURFACE MARKS SOME OF WHICH CAN BE DETECTED AS LIGHT CLICKS, THERE ARE NO FEEL ABLE SCRATCHES AND NO SKIPPING OR JUMPING AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE BACKGROUND NOISE ON QUIET SECTIONS OR IN BETWEEN TRACKS. THE LABELS RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL BRIGHT COLOUR AND HAVE VERY LITTLE SPINDLE WARE. THIS IS A GREAT COPY FOR THE COLLECTOR AND LISTENER.
