Condition
Vinyl- Excellent+
Vinyl has a lovely sheen with just a few visible hairlines on both sides but these are fine, non-feelable. Otherwise, just some wispy sleeve removal lines.
Audio - Excellent+
Audio is clean, bright and distortion free. Some light background crackle to both run in/run off. A side has just minimal background crackle between tracks. B side background is just a little louder and more apparent between tracks 1,2 and 3. Beautiful sounding vinyl.
Labels– Excellent+
Labels are in beautiful condition with just some spindle wear to each side. Rim text starts "the Gramophone company.." Has the "Sold in the UK…" text across the centre and KT stamps to Side 1.
Sleeve- Excellent
The Garrod & Lofthouse 'patents pending' sleeve is also in lovely condition. The Stereo on the front cover is in outline block lettering. A few light creases to the laminated front cover mainly to towards the spine and edges, with three thumbnails towards the opening edge. The front also has a couple of very small 'dots' towards the bottom and some light age discolouration. Spine is clean and fully readable with no laminate cracking. The rear cover is also in great conditionwith clean external flipbacks. Does have some discolouration in a mottled pattern around the edges.
Inner Sleeve– Excellent
Not the original sleeve but an original EMI advertising sleeve from around 1966. Sleeve has age discolouration with a split to one side.
OVERALL, A LOVELY STEREO UK 1st PRESSING
Record will be removed from sleeve for posting. I will always obtain proof of posting.
