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 - This 1st Press Vinyl at least has not been played to destruction like most - Has been carefully played a minimal amount of times over the early years but shows nothing but only light use over the last 45 years with NO bad scratches or any other bad 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 light it reveals nothing more than a few mild light hairlines and scuffs across surfaces and some usual insignificant disc inner sleeve removal feint wispy light lines here and there that absolutely dosen't affect the virtually clear audio playback (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall excellent condition on both sides) - The vinyl still retains all its original jet black shiny gloss mirror like sheen and lustre - It would be very hard these days to find a better vinyl copy of this 1st Mono Pressing Record that plays without any major problems! - A very Collectable Example!!!  

Please Note: This record has been stored away and not touched or cleaned for most of it's 46 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 overplayed  and appears to have very few light and minor blemishes across the vinyl surfaces and shows NO heavy marks or scratches still looks a great example - There are No pops,skips,jumps or repeats  -The only thing I did notice when played at very loud volume was some light clicks on side 1 halfway through track1 into track 2 its really not over distracting   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 45 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 very clean and virtually unmarked condition being a strong excellent with very little wear around the spindle hole - Under a bright Halogen light it shows some faint spider trail traces near the spindle hole and (only noticable under Bright light) is certainly evident that when it was ever occasionally played it was well cared for and looked after and hasn't been overplayed in its 46 year life span 

Cover Condition: VG to EX An Original Front Laminated Tri-fold Colour Cover - This Clean Intact Cover is still in exceptional condition and a great  example of a well looked after cover on the Front and Back of sleeve -Showing all its original Bold and Vibrant colours and shape with very little storage wear - That's totally intact with straight edges and a nice opening edge with good pointed corners - Flat crisp clean with all triple folds laying flat and secure at the back - If I look very closely there are some mild and very light storage corner wear rubs and some light mild laminate surface creases mainly along the bottom of cover with a few more small light laminate surface marks and creases that have appeared  over nearly 50 years here and there (this doesn't in anyway detract from the overall excellent condition of cover) - Its one of the better ones I have seen over the years that's not falling apart hasn't  been torn/split or written all over in Ink - Its still a very good example of a 1st Press cover!!! 

Spine Condition: EX+ The Laminated Pinched Spine is still very intact clean and undamaged and is near perfect only showing two very small very light laminate creases across the spine with a little light mild storage rub wear on the very end tips of the pinched spine(all light blemishes that are not that noticable)all written text still showing to be bold clear legible and perfectly worded like 'New' as it was printed!!!  

Inner Sleeve: EX The original plain white record company sleeve with 'PATENTS APPLIED FOR' text in bottom left hand corner is a strong Excellent and looks great in an original clean intact condition and shows no evidence of any real handling wear over it's lifetime - Absolutely NO Tears,Splits,Ink Writting,Stickers or other Blemishes with just the usual yellow ageing discolour to be seen across the sleeve

 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!!!
