THE COVER:
1ST PRESS EJ DAY GATEFOLD LAMINATED COVER
The cover is in very good condition!
The front is very clean, with no writing, tears, or creases. The laminate is fully intact. There are numerous light scratches on the front, which do not penetrate the print. These can only be viewed at an acute angle.
The opening edge has signs of feathering and there are some areas of ‘bubbling’ near the edges.
The corners have signs of wear, which I have tried to show in the photograph.
The colours are still vibrant and the text is very white and clean.
The rear cover is very clean, with no writing, tears or any other marks.
This side of the cover does not have any lines or scratches. There is a little creasing near the edges and feathering along the opening edge.
The spine is still very strong, without creasing, but with rubbing on the top and bottom edges.
The inside non-laminated gatefold is in excellent condition, with no tears, writing or creases. There are a couple of ‘stains’ and the name ‘Smith B’ written faintly in pen on the top left hand corner.
THE SLEEVE:
The sleeve is in very good condition!
The polyliner sleeve is still reasonably white and clean, intact, with no marks, tears or writing, with just a little creasing. It has slightly mellowed or aged over time.
THE POSTER / LYRIC SHEET
1st PRESS POSTER / LYRIC SHEET
The poster is in very good condition!
The original poster still retains it’s orange background colour. All text is clearly readable. There are a few creases and a 10mm tear on the top edge. There are no pinholes or sellotape marks and no signs that the poster has ever been hung for display. There is a thin pen line approx 20mm long on the lyrics of ‘Bold As Love’
THE LABELS:
1ST PRESS EXTRA RIM TRACK LABELS
The labels are in near mint condition!
These are the slightly ‘speckled’ black Track labels, with the extra rim around the spindle hole.
The labels are in excellent condition, with no scuffs, marks, writing, tears, or stickers and with clean spindle holes. The silver text is very clean and shiny. The labels show signs of very few plays.
THE RECORD:
1ST PRESS A/1 B/1 MATRIX NUMBERS
The playing surfaces are in near mint condition!
The heavy record is flat, very glossy and clean, with no scuffs, scratches, but a few paper lines. The run ins for each track are near silent. This record plays very loud!
There are no sticks, skips, distorted sound, hisses, groove wear or background noises. There is the occasional short pop and crackle on EXP, but nowhere else on the whole record.
Pure clean original mono sound at it’s very best!
All grading is strictly within the UK Rare Record Collectors Grading Criteria!
