Description
Notes on condition -
Sleeve - This has a small tick written in biro on the back sleeve next to 'Time has told me'. There is wear to the sleeve as you would expect..it is 54 years old! The pictures give a good guide. There are no seam splits and the inner gatefold double panel image is particularly clean.
Vinyl - Someone called R.Taylor has written their name in fine biro over the 'Produced by Joe Boyd section of Side One. Otherwise the labels are beautiful and clean. I have listened to the record carefully through. I am playing the record on a Technics SL-1100A and using Exposure amps. So it is decent equipment but not the most high end. I also have NOT had the record professionally cleaned. I am also not using a record clamp or anything like that. To my ears the vinyl plays exceptionally well. If I am being very picky then there is a small amount of audible low level crackle in the first 20 secs of Three Hours. A bit of crackle for the last 15 secs of Thoughts of Mary Jane. Some crackle in the 15 secs outro to Man in a Shed. Some crackle until vocals kick in at the start of Saturday Sun and then a little at the end. All of these are very minor pieces of noise.
Overall this is a really excellent playing copy.
