MATRIX Nos: Early PRESSING  (1N & 1N)  

All of my records That I'm selling are from my own personel collection that I have collected and cherished for over 40 years and which have been generally kept and looked after to the highest standard.

Vinyl Condition: EX+ Visually the vinyl is in excellent Condition and has not been played to destruction like most - Has been well looked after and carefully played over its life time and not been played  for a good 40 years - Shows NO bad scratches/marks or Groove wear marks that I can visually see or detect on close inspection that will affect the Audio Playback - When examined on closer examination under a strong angled light it reveals nothing more than one or two mild light hairlines across surface and a few usual insignificant disc inner sleeve removal wispy faint light line  traces here and there that absolutely dosen't affect the virtually near perfect audio playback (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall excellent or better condition on both sides) - The vinyl still retains all its original jet black shiny gloss mirror like sheen and lustre - Hard these days to find a vinyl copy of this early Mono Pressing that plays without any problems! - it's one of the better ones an Exceptional Preserved Example!!!  

Please Note: This record has been stored away and not touched or cleaned for most of it's 48 years it would obviously benefit from a proffessional clean  before play as to reduce further any light static crackle that is still present

AUDIO PLAYBACK ASSESSMENT:  - SUPERB UNINTERRUPTED CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARITY AND POWER ON AUDIO PLAYBACK END TO END - Audio is Graded as EX to Near Mint  - This vinyl visually looks like its not been played that much and appears to have very few light and minor blemishes across the vinyl surfaces and shows NO heavy marks or scratches still looks a stunning example - There are No major Clicks,pops,skips,jumps or repeats and shows No other annoying  audio noise distortions during playback If I'm going to be Ultra Critical whilst listening through the playback you may get occasionally when the very quiet tracks begin to play or on the start of run ins and inbetween tracks and the very quieter elements of audio playback or if at all  you may get some very light static crackle for a second or two and then it just fades away but absolutely nothing of any consequence on this 48 year old Classic  that will spoil your overall enjoyment of this exceptional Iconic Classic Album - Overall  its just a Fantastic listening Experience that comes from this near Perfect Dynanmic Mono Audio performance!!! 

Labels Condition: EX  The labels being the Original Parlophone Yellow & Black labels that are still in a clean intact condition with some mild wear around the spindle hole from mounting LP onto spindle - Under bright light it shows some obvious faint spider trail traces near the spindle hole (not that noticable can only be seen in bright light) but it's certainly evident that when it was ever played it was well cared for and maintained and hasn't been overplayed in its 48 year life span 

Cover Condition: EX An Original Front Laminated Triple Flipback Picture Cover - The cover is still in exceptional sound condition and a very good example of a well looked after cover showing all its original Bold bright sharp contrast of Colours that's in magnificent shape with very little storage wear to mention for 48 years - Totally intact with nice straight virtually wear free edges and good corners - The non-laminated white back of cover has NO major stains or ink writting to really mention and shows very little markings and blemishes - Flat crisp and clean showing just some usual yellow/brown ageing tinges mainly around the white edges with the large majority of cover area still being mostly in an unblemished condition - If I look very closely there are only some mild and very light storage corner and edge wear rubbing a few small mild laminate surface scrape lines and creases at bottom of the front cover with very slight feathering on the opening edges the back of cover is excellent with all 3 flipbacks flat and secure with bottom flipback showing some light wear along a small part of the edge that have appeared over nearly 50 years and that's it! and I do mean light! (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall exceptional condition of cover) - Its one of the better ones I have seen over the years that's not falling apart that hasn't  been torn/split or written all over in Ink - It's an exceptional example overall for it's age!!!  

Spine Condition: EX The Laminated thin Spine is still superb and totally intact being clean and undamaged and amazingly if you look hard enough it only shows one or two mild thin laminate surface creases across width of spine and some corner rubbing each end of spine - With all the written text still showing to be bold clear legible and perfectly worded as it was printed!!!  

Inner Sleeve: EX The original white record company rice paper style sleeve still looks immaculate in virtually an original clean intact condition and shows no evidence of any real handling wear over it's lifetime just a few small paper nicks on the opening edge - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting,Stickers or other Blemishes apart from some usual paper creases and mild yellow aging tinges mainly around the edges

 The overall Brilliant Pristine condition of this Album is mainly due to the superb dry storage conditions and thick plastic cover protection on this LP Record over it's Lifetime!!!
