The Vinyl
Visually: Lovely gloss lustre - no groove whitening - minimal signs of handling with just a few very light lines, both sides, in natural light
Audio: Both sides play loud and clear, with no appreciable deterioration in sound quality - some mild surface noise on the run ins - crackle/pop in places (nothing much) - no skips or stalls - a great copy
*
The Labels
Vibrant yellow 'Parlophone's' - expected spindle trails - a small pen mark near the centre of side 1 (almost impossible to see) - Factory Sample sticker which has been lifted slightly on the right (could be stuck down or totally removed by soaking)
*
The Cover
Garrod and Lofthouse original - strong example made from the thickest card stock and having the deepest colour toning to the front - a few perimeter wrinkles and mild disc impression - perfect, pinched ends, spine - unprotected back is free from any writing - the flips are complete and in top condition
*
The Inner Sleeve
Original, thick paper, poly lined, 'patents applied for', 'made in England' issue - quite heavy age toning but otherwise, an outstanding near perfect example

On 10-Oct-14 at 12:21:23 BST, seller added the following information:
The centre of the spine has a 30mm laminate split section but nothing is missing - each end is about 10mm short of the corners - the rest is perfect and undamaged and almost impossible to find like this on an original cover
On 13-Oct-14 at 09:13:14 BST, seller added the following information:The revised detail referring to laminate splitting on the spine is from a previous listing and should have been removed. The cover here, has a perfect spine, so please ignore this incorrect information
