THE GARROD & LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE, WITH RIGHT-HAND OPENING SEALED, IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE HAS IT’S ROUND ‘PINK FLOYD DARK SIDE OF THE MOON’ STICKER NEATLY IN PLACE TOWARDS THE TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER. THERE IS JUST A HINT OF SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND A FEW TINY MARKS. THERE IS SOME MINOR RUBBING TO TWO OF THE CORNERS. THE EDGES AND THE CORNERS ARE ALL LOVELY STRAIGHT. THERE ARE NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE EDGES.  INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, WITH THE LYRICS STILL LOOKS FANTASTIC.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED, BLACK INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING.

THE POSTERS

THE TWO POSTERS ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN HANDLED CAREFULLY. THEY HAVE CERTAINLY NEVER BEEN PINNED UP.

THE STICKERS

BOTH OF THE STICKERS HAVE ‘PERMANENT’ PRINTED ON THEIR WHITE BACKS. BOTH OF THESE STICKERS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO FLAWS. 

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE SOME TINY MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES AND CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT WITH JUST SOME SLIGHT & OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE DURING QUIETER PARTS OF SIDE ONE.

THE LABELS

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