THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. WHEN EXAMINED CLOSELY UNDER A STRONG LIGHT THERE ARE JUST LIGHT BUT VERY MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS VISIBLE ON EITHER SIDE. THE LABELS ARE PERFECT WITH STRONG, BOLD LETTERING AND STILL DISPLAY THEIR ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR. THERE IS NO FADING OR RUBBING EVIDENT !
THE GLOSSY HEAVIER WEIGHT VINYL IS SUPERB , THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AN DTHEREFORE IT DOES DISPLAY SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND SOME NON FEELABLE HAIRLINE MARKS BUT NONE ARE SEVERE OR OFFENSIVE. RETAINING ITS ORGIGINAL DEEP GLOSS THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DULLING OR OTHER IMPERFECTIONS TO THE PLAYING SURFACE.
AUDIO IS FABULOUS, DURING ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELF THERE WAS SOME MILD CRACKLE EVIDENT TO RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AN DTHE ODD TRACK GROOVE BUT APART FROM THAT I DID NOT DETECT ANY DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY THERE ARE NO POPS, STICKS OR JUMPS PRESENT.
THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT AND IS SUPERB WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING AND THE INEVITABLE CREASES WHERE THE VINYL HAS SAT IN THE SLEEVE.
THE OUTER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE "PATENTS PENDING" SLEEVE IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES PRESENT AND SOME LIGHT CREASES . THE FRONT IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, GLOSSY AND WITH NO RINGWEAR PRESENT, HOWEVER THERE IS A SMALL CREASE TO TOP LEFT CORNER WHICH HAS CAUSED A VERY SMALL SECTION OF LAMINATE LIFT BUT IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT THIS IS NOT SEVERE AND THE LAMINATE IS NOT SPLIT OR CRACKED. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL PERFECTLY STRAIGHT AND TRUE WITH A HINT OF HANDLING PRESENT AND THERE ARE THE INEVITABLE CORNER BUMPS PRESENT BUT THESE REALLY ARE MINOR. THE REAR IS EXCELLENT, IT DISPLAYS SOME LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING BUT AGAIN THERE IS NO RINGWEAR PRESENT. ALL THREE FLIPBACKS LIE PERFECTLY FLAT WITH JUST ONE OR TWO CREASES. THE SPINE IS PERFECT AND THERE IS NO WEAR PRESENT. ALL WORDING IS PRISTINE.
ALL THIS IS COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL AND RARE NEMS SHOP SLEEVE, DIRECT FROM BRAIN EPSTEINS RECORD STORE IN LIVERPOOL THE SLEEVE IS SUPERB. IT DOES SHOW SOME MINOR CREASING BUT OTHER THAN THAT NO REAL SIGND OF AGE. THE SLEEVE IS COMPLETELY INTACT WITH NO TEARS OR NICKS.
