THE SLEEVE

THE ICONIC FRONT LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS GENRAL WEAR, SOME DISCOLOURATION AND SOME WRINKLING TO THE FRONT. THERE IS  WEAR, DISCOLOURATION AND STAINING TO THE REAR. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WROTE HIS INITILA 'B' IN THE TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER ON THE BACK. THERE IS SOME SCUFFING TO AN AREA ON THE SPINE WHICH HAS JUST STARTED TO SPLIT THROUGH. MOST OF THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS LEGIBLE. THERE IS MINOR BRUISING TO EACH CORNER.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE PLENTY OF MARKS AND SCUFFS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. I NOTED SOME LIGHT SURFACE NOISE AT TIMES AND THE ODD LIGHT TICK. I ALSO NOTICED A VERY SLIGHT EDGE WARP WHICH IS ONLY VISIBLE WHEN PLAYING SIDE TWO. THIS DID NOT AFFECT PLAY AT ALL.

THE LABELS

THE GROOVED, BLACK & SILVER BRUNSWICK LABELS ARE BOTH IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH LOADS OF SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR.

1. OUT IN THE STREET

3. THE GOOD’S GONE
4. LA-LA-LA-LA-LIES

6. MY GENERATION

SIDE TWO
