Bright deep black glossy sheen. Extremely rare in this  condition.  I did notice a couple of the faintest small non sounding hairlines.  Absolutely nothing serious.
The disc plays as NEAR MINT.
The label print is the original "Chubby" Sans Serif font which was used on the early releases. Later ones featured the "THIN"  Sans Serif before moving to Roman Type 1 and Type 2.



Playback was absolutely superb with no background AT ALL. No pops no clicks or tics no repeats or jumps.

The run-ins and run-outs are COMPLETELY SILENT.



The EMITEX inner is in great condition. See photos.



The vinyl record is housed within an extremely rare Ernest J Day flip-back sleeve which has a mid-size solid

 mono aural indicator on the front side. Most releases featured the Garrod & Lofthouse Patents Pending sleeve.



The Ernest J Day sleeve is front laminated only with rounded flip overs to the rear is in superb original condition. Easily EX+

The spine is straight and true with ALL the print undamaged and fully legible.

All the other seams are in similar superb condition.

The open is free of feathering. 

The rear of the sleeve retains its original white appearance. Usually they are faded or become grubby after nearly 60 years!


The disc has been professionally cleaned on a high end DEGRITTER ULTRASONIC CLEANING MACHINE

and will be sent with an anti static NAGAOKA  inner sleeve. 


As always I have played every track in full. I cannot emphasise enough just how strong and clear the audio is, the playback is stunning.
As stated in my introduction the previous owner really knew how to look after his LPs !

Please see my other items.

And of course there is my NO QUIBBLE MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED
