THE PARLOPHONE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. LABELS ARE FREE FROM WRITING, LABLES APPER TO HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT AND MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT . LABELS CARRY "THE GRAMMPHONE CO" RIM TEXT AND "SOLD IN UK".... SIDE ONE HAS THE HIGHLY VISIBLE EMBOSSED KJT TAX CODE..... LABELS ARE VERY VIVID AND CLEAN.
THE GLOSSY MIRROR LIKE VINYL IS AGAIN SUPERB WITH JUST VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE.THESE ARE REALLY ONLY VISIBLE WHEN VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT..NONE ARE SEVERE AND NONE AFFECT AUDIO. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS HASNT BEEN OVERPLAYED. THE VINYL LIES FLAT WITH NO WARPING E.T.C.
THE STEREO AUDIO IS AWESOME, THERE IS SOME MINOR CRACKLE TO RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND THE ODD TRACK GROOVE AND THERE IS SOME MILD CRACKLE TO CERTAIN PARTS OF "YESTERDAY" HOWEVER IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT THIS IN NO WAY DETRACTS FROM THE LISTENING ENJOYMENT OF THIS RARE ALBUM. THE STEREO AUDIO IS CRISP AND CLEAR THROUGHOUT AND IS A REAL JOY TO LISTEN TO.
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB WITH VIRTUALLY NO SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING. IT IS STILL VERY WHITE AND STILL VERY CRISP.
THE OUTER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE "PATENTS PENDING" LAMINATED SLEEVE, WHICH CARRIES THE 1ST PRESSING OUTLINED "STEREO" IS SUPERB WITH JUST VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE. IT DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT CREASING TO FRONT BUT FAR LESS THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED.THE REAR IS STILL VERY CLEAN AND WHITE WITH JUST THE ODD MARK . THE SLEEVE IS INTACT, THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY RIDGID AND ALL WORDING IS READABLE. THE FRONT LAMINATE STILL REATIANS ITS ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS..... ONE OF THE BEST STEREO SLEEVES I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!!!!!
THIS REALLY IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS UK 1ST RARER STEREO PRESSING, WHICH OFFERS REALLY SUPERB LABLES,VINYL AND SLEEVE AND FABULOUS AUDIO.
