The front laminated 1st Press EJ Day cover is generally in excellent condition. The bottom and top corners on the opening edge have slight splits where the record has been removed and returned, but this is very common for this type of "card" cover. The bottom and top spine corners have some rubbing, again very typical. The "Angus McBean" credit is on the extreme right bottom corner as this is a 1st Press release. There is no laminate lifting on the front or any writing, tears or stickers.
The rear non laminated cover is in at least very good condition, with some handling marks. The flip backs are still intact. There is no writing, stickers or tears on the rear cover.
The spine is still strong with some wear on the corners, it hasn't flattened and all text is clear.
The first ever "Patents Applied For" Emitex poly liner sleeve is in excellent condition with some ageing and creases.
Side 1 label is in excellent condition with some spindle marks. The gold writing is still vibrant. There are no stickers or writing on the label.
Side 2 label is in the same condition and has the correct MT Tax Code.
Visually, Side 1 with it's mirror like finish has some minor surface marks and plays in at least excellent condition with no skips, sticks, pops, crackles or major background noise and with near silence between tracks.
Visually, Side 2 with it's mirror like finish also has some minor surface marks and also plays in at least excellent condition with no skips, sticks, pops or major background noise and with near silence between most tracks. There is the faintest of crackles / static on "A Taste Of Honey", but this is not all the way through the track.
The record has been played loud through headphones to achieve an accurate grade.
Postage and Packing:
Your record will be removed from the cover and placed inside a new white sleeve. The cover, record and inner sleeve will be placed in a plastic wallet and sandwiched between stiffeners and posted in a cruciform record box. The box is completely sealed and protected against water damage.
I provide Worldwide Insurance at no extra cost if the record sells for £40:00 +
I also offer excellent postage discounts for combined records.
You will receive an email on the same day your record has been posted.
Please pay by Paypal no later than 8:00pm on the first Friday after the auction has ended as I can only post on a Saturday morning. If you pay after this time, the record can only be posted on the following Saturday. Many thanks.
