THE SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL FRONT-LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE WITH THREE LARGE FLIP-BACKS ON THE BACK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE. THERE IS SOME LIGHT TANNING AND THERE IS SOME MINOR RUBBING TO THE CORNERS. OTHERWISE ALL OF THE EDGES ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT AND ALL TEXT ON THE FLUTED SPINE IS STILL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THIS IS A VERY GOOD LOOKING SLEEVE!!

THIS LP IS HOUSED IN AN ORIGINAL EMI ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS GREAT ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENUINELY VERY GOOD THROUGHOUT WITH SOME LIGHT CRACKLE & SURFACE NOISE; MAINLY BETWEEN TRACKS. I NOTED SOME ODD CLICKS AND TICKS AT TIMES.
