CONDITION –
The vinyl is in GOOD condition. Both LPs have clearly been played quite a lot with plenty of visible lines and scratches, though none are really bad.
The sleeve is in POOR condition. Split along most of the spine and shows some evidence of water damage coming from the bottom edge (see photos).
The 4 photographs are in Excellent condition and have not been on a wall so no pinholes, sticky tape or blu-tack marks.
The poster is complete but has some splits along the folds, but is all in one piece.
The original black inner sleeves are in Very Good condition.
No attempts at repair have been made to any of the whole package, and the Very Low number is the main attraction to this auction.
(Record Collector gradings).
The photos are of the actual item for sale.
There is no writing on the sleeve though is accurately described as Poor. However, this is one of the first albums pressed, as can be seen by the Very Low Sleeve Number and lack of reference to EMI on the labels. The sleeve is also best described as 'grubby', with lots of shelf wear and no cleaning has been attempted.
The album has clearly been played lots, but the playing of the album isn't that important - it's the fact that this was one of the very first pressings of the album.
Many copies of this album when released were played endlessly, often scratched until they were unplayable. This copy has clearly been played.
The vinyl is in Good condition overall.
An extremely rare album. This album has clearly been part of a collection. It is over 50 years old! Astounding!
This album is becoming increasingly rare, even in this condition. Highly collectable.
Quite brilliant!
Low start!
Any questions please ask.
Thanks for looking.
