THE PARLOPHONE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. LABELS ARE FREE FROM WRITING AND APPER TO HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE AND IT HAS TO BE STRESSED THAT THESE ARE ONLY VISIBLE WHEN LABELS ARE ANGLED UNDER A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT. . LABELS CARRY "THE GRAMMPHONE CO" RIM TEXT AND "SOLD IN UK" TEXT
THE GLOSSY MIRROR LIKE VINYL IS AGAIN SUPERB WITH JUST VERY LIGHT AND MINIMAL SURFACE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE, THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING..... VISUALLY THIS LOOKS VERY VERY APPEALING .
AUDIO IS FLAWLESS........ RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND TRACK GROOVES ARE SILENT. THE STEREO SOUND IS CLEAR AND CRISP THROUGHOUT.
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB WITH JUST LIGHT 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 REALLY EXCELLENT GIVEN ITS AGE. IT DISPLAYS THE ODD MINOR LIGHT CREASE TO FRONT BUT FAR LESS THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED AND SOME LIGHT CORNER "BUMPS" (PROBABLY CAUSED THROUGH STORAGE). THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT AND TRUE.THE REAR DOES SHOW SOME SIGNS OF HANDLING AND CARRIES A MARK TO TOP (SEE PICTURE).THE SEAMS LIE PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO LIFTING. THE SLEEVE IS INTACT, THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY RIDGID AND ALL WORDING IS STILL CRISP AND READABLE.
OVERALL THIS REALLY IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE STEREO 1ST PRESSING WHICH OFFERS SUPERB LABELS AND VINYL AND MINT AUDIO.
