COVER
This is an original laminated front, matt rear ,tri-flapped Garrod & Lofthouse cover. A super clean and bright example of this classic 2nd album cover designed by ' Hipgnosis ' The laminate is nice a bright with no lifting , tears etc and just a couple of tiny stress creases from the spine edge , clean sharp corners with only a hint of wear , fresh rear panel with no writing, stains, tears or stickers and just 2 small rub marks in the middle which is very hard to notice ! the flaps are all intact and in super condition as is the spine , fully readable text , crisp and square with pinched ends ! Overall a super example (see-pics) EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION !
VINYL
Both sides have a rich glossy shine and look very clean and fresh.Closer inspection under bright lighting reveals a couple of tiny surface marks which are harmless light fingernail rubs , no scratches and nothing that affect the audio quality, however there is a tiny dot like mark which causes a couple of soft clicks on ' see saw' but it's very minor and barely heard at volume.Otherwise both sides play through very well with vibrant sound through both channels and nothing more than some light static between tracks,overall this is a very nice sounding copy of this classic prog album and in my opinion equally as good ( if not better ) than piper.Again classic tracks mainly pioneered by the great 'Syd Barrett '. Overall a realy nice example way above the average condition offered and with the Rare miss-print on both labels and cover ! ( see-pics) Visualy and Audibly EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION
LABELS
Original early 1st issued Blue Columbia labels with the Gramophone rim text and sold in uk ..... with no tax code present on either side .Both labels are in super clean and bright condition with No writing , stickers or stains and just some light miss-aimed spindle traces to fault , a very clean set with Printing Error !!! ( see-pics) EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION
