Description
This a second pressing with the Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve (not Ernest J Day) so dates between 1966 to 1969, I think. It has the letters R A M (see pic) pressed onto the run-out groove which I can't find on Discogs.https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/4456501?ev=rb
If this is record didn't have a little ringwear on the Side 2 label then I'd grade it Near Mint. The Vinyl looks shiny and new with no scratches and hardly any hairlines. when I played it, it had barely a crackle let alone pop. I've got records made less than a year ago in worse shape.
Sleeve is NM with the spine and all edges perfect, the opening without any horrible finger marks or wear, the flipbacks all still flat and the actual laminate cover lacking in any fading or dents. The reverse of the sleeve is similarly unblemished with no sign of the usual grubbiness in a record of this age. (Again see pics) Only blemishes to speak of are the price lightly written in top left rear (see pic) and a slight ding to the bottom right front (see pic) but frankly, I'm really struggling to find imperfections - maybe a slight loss of the laminate on a 5mm bit of the top edge (see pic) but you know, I'm splitting hairs.
Comes with the original Emitex inner which is as you can see from the pics slightly folded but otherwise no tears or dirt.
Any questions (e.g. Postage overseas) please don't hesitate to contact me.
Combined postage on the other records I'm selling.
Happy bidding!
