RECORD LABELS HAVE THE WIDE FONT AS SHOWN AGAIN BY THE 'STEREO' DESIGNATION WHICH SITS OVER 'ONE' IN PARLOPHONE NAME BENEATH
LAMINATED RECORD SLEEVE FRONT IS IN CLEAN LEGIBLE CONDITION BUT DOES HAVE SOME EDGE CREASE'S AND SLIGHTLY MORE CREASE'S TO THE OPENING EDGE (HARD TO MAKE OUT IN THE PICTURES) THE SPINE IS UNCRUSHED AND TEXT IS LEGIBLE
SLEEVE REAR INNER PANEL DOES HAVE SOME AGE FADING TO THE EDGES AND A NAME AND A CODE NUMBER TOP RIGHT ( MAY HAVE BEEN PART OF A RADIO STATION COLLECTION)
EMITEX INNER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION NO REPAIRS OR SPLITS JUST A LITTLE AGE FADING TO THE WHITE AREAS
VINYL RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES AND THE AUDIO WAS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO THE ODD POP OCCASIONALY BUT THE RUN INS WERE QUIET AND ALSO THE SPACES SUPRISINGLY
RECORD HAS A GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES BUT DOES HAVE HANDLING AND LIGHT NEEDLE MARKS NONE TO ME APPEAR FEELABLE AND DON'T SEEM TO SHOW UP WHEN PLAYING
LABELS ARE BOTH LEGIBLE BUT DO HAVE SOME WEAR TO THE CENTRES ,NOT THE ACTUAL CENTREHOLE BUT THE AREA SURROUNDING IT ,LOTS OF HEAVY SPINDLE MARKS , I CAN ONLY ASSUME A LACK OF CARE ( BACK IN THE 1960's NO ONE KNEW OR CARED HOW RARE THESE WERE )
WE DO PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI SYSTEM FOR REVIEW MODERN SYSTEMS CAN AND WILL GIVE A DIFFERENT RESPONSE
