CONDITION
RECORD IS EXCELLENT+
IT WOULD BE GRADED NEAR MINT BUT THERE IS A VISIBLE RUB MARK ON SIDE 2 (SEE PICS) JUST COSMETIC, ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON PLAYBACK WHATSOEVER BUT CAN BE SEEN WHEN TILTED IN LIGHT ONLY
LOVELY WITH A DEEP GLOSSY MIRROR LIKE NEW RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT. OBVIOUSLY ONLY PLAYED SPARINGLY IN THE LAST 47 YEARS. SUPERB !
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, I CAN ONLY SEE THE ONE BLEMISH ON SIDE 1 ONLY,
NOTHING AT ALL ON SIDE 2 !!
EVEN WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT, RESULTING IN A SUPER AUDIO PLAYBACK,
THEREFORE, A GREAT AUDIO EXPERIENCE WHEN PLAY-TESTED ON MY REGA TURNTABLE
THE FIRST PRESS RECORD SLEEVE IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, THE WHITE CARD SLEEVE IS USUALLY VERY DIRTY OR MARKED BUT NOT THIS ONE !! (SEE PICS)
NICE AND CLEAN WITH MINIMAL HANDLING WEAR ON FRONT , ALSO CLEAN ON THE UNLAMINATED CARD REVERSE
(QUITE DIFFICULT TO FIND AS NICE AS THIS !!! )
NO CORNER RUB PRESENT, JUST A TINY EDGE RUB, WITH AN UNCRUSHED PINCHED SEAM AND THE SPINE IS STILL JUST LEGIBLE AND THE OPENING EDGE IS CLEAN AND DEFINED. (SEE ALL PICS) VERY NICE!!
WHITE INNER IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CLEAN CONDITION NO SPLITS, RARELY LEFT THE SLEEVE UNTIL TODAY TO PHOTOGRAPH (SEE ALL PICS)
HARVEST PICTURE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION (SEE PICS) WITH JUST FEINT SPINDLE MARKS CONFINED TO THE DISC CENTRE ONLY
SO, IN CONCLUSION, NOT ONLY A RARE SUPER CONDITION UK FIRST PRESS BUT IMPORTANTLY THE VINYL SOUNDS GREAT!!!!
SUPER EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE FIRST UK ISSUE, 47 -YEAR-OLD ICONIC ROCK ALBUM
