ORIGINAL UK 2nd Pressing from 1968. Original Transatlantic Records Pressing, Stereo Format.
The Sleeve: In Very Good Plus condition. All text legible and pictorials clear and glossy and has held original colour tones well. The front and rear panels are smooth, glossy and clean with clear print. The length of the spine and top and bottom edges have no storage wear, and all original title and catalogue number text is legible. The sleeve is firm and flat.
There are no rips or splits anywhere, no record ring wear. No handwriting or marks, tight opening side. Some bubbling (but no splits) to the laminate along front near spine edge.
No handwriting or marks, no writing imprints.
Inner Sleeve: Excellent condition. Intact at all seams, clean, no marks. This is the original inner sleeve.
The Vinyl: The vinyl surfaces grade as Excellent Minus. Both sides are smooth all over and have no feelable or deep scratches. Under bright light there are a few very light marks that sweep lightly over the surface, nothing obtrusive to the audio. No actual scratches, scuffs, warps, or groove wear. No groove wear, and appears as a full glossy surface all over with a good shine in normal house lighting.. The record is certainly in well over average and respectable condition, having received a moderate number of plays, and not trashed-out or over used as so many have.
Solid heavyweight robust 1960's vinyl which lays completely flat on the turntable.
Labels: Very Good and very neat. All text is clear and bright backgound, the perimeter area around the spindle location is neat with a little wear to the perimeter of the label on Side One. No visible spindle line traces on either side.
No handwriting or marks.
The Audio: The audio is Excellent Minus, very clear sound without interruption. The LP plays through smoothly on both sides, with no pops, no background noises such as crackle or hiss, and there are no skips/jumps or sticks. There are a few light audible static type ticks, but only where to be expected for a record of this age that has received play use, just on a couple of quieter parts during a couple of songs. Plays through uninterrupted the vast majority of quiet interludes have no surface noise. No skips, pops, loud ticks, sticks, jumps etc. The Stereo channeling is perfect with no feedback or hiss, and the vocals are crisp and clear, and folksy instrumentals lucid.
