THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE, WITH THREE REAR FLIP-BACKS, IS IN BEAUTIFUL VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS SOME WEAR, SOME TANNING TO THE BACK AND THERE IS RUBBING TO AREAS ALONG THE EDGES AND TO THE CORNERS. THERE IS A 1” SPLIT WHERE THE TOP EDGE MEETS THE OPENING. THE GOLD STEREOPHONIC STICKER AND THE “ZT” TAX STAMP ARE BOTH STILL IN PLAVE ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE SLEEVE RESPECTIVELY. THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS FULLY LEGIBLE.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE RECORD IS STILL HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL POLY-LINED ‘MUSICAL CENTRES OF THE WORLD’ INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH CREASING & TANNING.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THE RECORD AND WHILST THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY SUPERB THROUGHOUT, I DID NOTE SOME SLIGHT & OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND SURFACE NOISE, NOTABLY DURING SIDE ONE.

THE LABELS

THE STUNNING GOLD & CREAM LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR & A FEW TINY MARKS.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY GRADED.
