MARTIX: AA 681 009 1L1 670 113C11 / AA 681 009 2L1 670 113C11 (with the '670' being the only indication that this is a Dutch pressing - like all copies issued in the UK)

Track Listing:
Side 1: Rufus 3rd (6:35) / Mohawk (4:40) / Banging On The White House Door (9:10)
Side 2: No. 6 (6:15) / Everything Happens To Me (6:35) / Quintus T. (2:45) / Sweet V. (3:35)

LABELS: The labels are clean, bright and unmarked with just a few light spindle traces - this copy has seen little play - EXCELLENT++
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and are practically unmarked. Side Two has some light 'blush' transfer from the poly-lining of the inner sleeve (from years of storage) but this has no effect on the sound - EXCELLENT++
VINYL Audio: Superb MONO cut with a crystal clear, deep, rich and fresh sound - beautifully recorded and engineered and on playback at a loud volume there are no audio issues of note - no scratches, no loud clicks or pops and no surface noise - it plays beautifully. I also detected no groove-wear or distortion on my play-through (I don't think this copy has been played that much at all). Critically graded a very strong EXCELLENT++ (if not NM) for audio - pretty much flawless and sounding really sensational
SLEEVE: The original front laminated thick card sleeve is good, square and solid with a nice deep glossy sheen to the laminated front and a clean back. There are a few patches of rubbing, most noticeable on the front bottom where the colour of the blue frame has worn and also a small patch on the 'K' in YORK (top front). There are however not too bad and could easily be touched up (but I will leave that to you). Overall VERY GOOD++
The original inner is in EXCELLENT+ condition - unmarked with no splits, just some light corner creasing which no doubt happen when inserting the record into the sleeve at the factory
