MATRIX ETCHINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS: SIDE 1: XEX 637-1  AHA   4 SIDE 2: XEX 638-1  ARL  7

SIDE 1 VINYL: GOOD / VERY GOOD -  A FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND A LITTLE SURFACE WEAR IS VISIBLE, A VERY QUIET AUDIBLE CRACKLE IS OCCASIONALLY HEARD IN THE BACKGROUND THOUGH  NOTHING THAT DISTRACTS FROM THE OVERALL AUDIO EXPERIENCE THOUGH - THE MOST AUDIBLE CRACKLE ON SIDE ONE WAS VERY BRIEFLY DURING THE TITLE TRACK BUT THIS WAS VERY BRIEF WHERE THE CRACKLE WAS ON A PAR AUDIO WISE TO THE MUSIC - VERY BRIEF THOUGH, ABSOLUTELY NO DEEP SURFACE MARKS, SCRATCHES OR ANYTHING THAT EFFECTS STYLUS TO SKIP OR JUMP DURING PLAYBACK, THIS SIDE OF THE RECORD RETAINS A CLEAN SHINE, HAS VISIBLE WEAR BUT CAN STILL BE PLAYED AND ENJOYED WITH OCCASIONALY LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NOTHING DETRIMENTAL TO OVERALL AUDIO EXPERIENCE. VISUALLY: GOOD / VERY GOOD // AUDIBLY: VERY GOOD

SIDE 2 VINYL: GOOD / VERY GOOD - OVERALL THE PLAYBACK AND VISUAL APPEARANCE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS SIDE 1. THERE IS SLIGHLT MORE AUDIBLE CRACKLE AND INTERFERENCE DURING 'WITHIN YOU WITHOUT YOU' BUT AGAIN THIS DOES NOT OVERPOWER THE MUSIC BUT I WOULD SAY THERE IS CLEAR CRACKLE AND A SLIGHT MUFFLING TO THE AUDIO IN PLACES DURING JUST THIS ONE TRACK ON SIDE 2, ABSOLUTELY NO DEEP SURFACE MARKS, SCRATCHES OR ANYTHING THAT EFFECTS STYLUS TO SKIP OR JUMP DURING PLAYBACK, THIS SIDE OF THE RECORD HAS SLIGHTLY MORE VISIBLE WEARTHAN SIDE 1 BUT CAN STILL BE PLAYED AND ENJOYED WITH OTHER THAN 'WITHIN YOU WITHOUT YOU' OCCASIONALY LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE. VISUALLY: GOOD / VERY GOOD // AUDIBLY: VERY GOOD

OVERALL A VINYL ALBUM THAT DOES HAVE AUDIBLE CRACKLE IN PLACES BUT NOTHING DETRIMENTAL TO THE OVERALL AUDIO AND STILL RETAINS AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE THAT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT

COVER: GOOD / VERY GOOD  – ORIGINAL FULLY LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE COVER WITH PATENTS PENDING TEXT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER, TOP INNER FLAPS ON THE GATEFOLD INNER, THE FRONT AND INNER PANELS HAVE A LITTLE MINIMAL AGEING WEAR VISIBLE AND THE FRONT HAS JUST A LIGHT AGEING FEEL TO THE OUTER LAMINATE BUT NOTHING DETRIMENTAL TO THE OVERALL APPEARANCE, THE REAR OF THE COVER HAS A SLIGHT TEAR AT THE POINT WHERE THE VINYL SLIDES IN WITHIN THE BOTTOM PARAGRAPH OF LYRICS TO 'WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS' BUT THIS ONLY REACHES AS FAR AS THE FIRST COUPLE OF LETTERS OF TEXT, COLOURS ALL LOOK CLEAR AND VIVID, SPINE HAS VISIBLE SCUFFING AND A SLIGHT TEAR MAKING THE TEXT NO LONGER READABLE, THE REAR CORRECTLY SHOWS ONLY THE MONO CATALOGUE NUMBER IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHICH WAS ONLY ON FIRST PRINTED PRESS COVERS, A COVER THAT'S SHOWING A LITTLE  AGEING AND HANDLING WEAR BUT STILL RETAINS PRESENTABLE IMAGERY AND ALL TEXT OTHER THAN THE SPINE IN CLEARLY LEGIBLE CONDITION

THE FOOL PSYCHEDELIC INNER SLEEVE WITH PATENTS APPLIED FOR TEXT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER IN GOOD /VERY GOOD CONDITION - A LITTLE LIGHT HANDLING AND AGEING WEAR IS VISIBLE MOST NOTICEABLE ALONG THE TOP WHERE THE VINYL SLIDES IN WHERE THE PAPER HAS FRAYED A LITTLE, COLOURS AND IMAGERY IS ALL CLEAR AND VIVID, I HAVE DOWNGRADED AS THERE IS A PARTIAL SEAM SPLIT ALONG THE BOTTOM SEAM (SEE PHOTO FOR EXTENT) - I SHALL POST THE VINYL IN A SEPARATE INNER SLEEVE THOUGH FOR TRANSIT TO AVOID ANY FURTHER DAMAGE. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PRINT RUN WITH 'PATENTS ALLIED FOR' TEXT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER ON ONE SIDE AND DESPITE A LITTLE AGEING AND HANDLING STILL LOOKS PRESENTABLE

CARDBOARD CUT-OUT INCLUDED TOO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION - I ACTUALLY SUSPECT THAT THIS IS FROM A LATER PRESSING AS IT LOOKS IMACULATE
