THE SLEEVE

THE EMI ITALIANA ‘MADE IN ITALY’ GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS GENERAL WEAR AND SOME MARKS. THERE IS A SMALL AREA OF DAMAGE ON THE FRONT WHERE A PRICE STICKER ONCE SAT. THERE IS GENERAL RUBBING ALONG THE EDGES AND TO THE CORNERS. THE EDGES AND THE CORNERS ARE ALL STILL STRAIGHT. THERE ARE NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE EDGES. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, WITH THE LYRICS, STILL LOOKS GREAT.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR. THE WORD ‘EMI’ IS LIGHTLY EMBOSSED ON THE INNER - TWICE ON EACH SIDE. I HAVE NEVER NOTICED THIS BEFORE!

THE POSTERS

THE TWO POSTERS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND HAVE NEVER BEEN PINNED UP. THERE ARE JUST A FEW SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING AND A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS ON THEIR  BACKS. THERE IS NO TEXT ANYWHERE ON EITHER POSTER.

THE STICKER

ONLY ONE OF THE STICKERS IS PRESENT. THIS STICKER IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THE BACK OF THE STICKER, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN PEELED, STATES ‘PERMANENT MILLFIX INTERMILLS’ REPEATEDLY. 

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHTS I CAN ONLY SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES AND CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

THE LABELS

THE BLACK HARVEST LABELS, WITH THE OUTLINE BLUE PRISMS AND WHITE TEXT, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION, WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPINDLE MARKINGS TO EACH.
