REAR LAMINATED SLEEVE -  TOP CORNER CREASE, BOTH SIDES OF THIS SLEEVE ARE IN REAL NICE CONDITION.

LP – LABELS – BOTH EXCELLENT.

LP – VISUALLY – ON CLOSE INSPECTION WE CAN FIND SOME SURFACE MARKS MOSTLY ON SIDE 2, HAVE CHECKED THIS CAREFULLY AND FOUND THAT NONE ARE DEEP OR SERIOUS. RETAINS IT’S ORIGINAL SHEEN BOTH SIDES.

LP – PLAY – THE LP DOES STICK ON TRACK 6, SIDE 1, VISUALLY CAN’T SEE ANY REASON FOR THIS, MIGHT JUST NEED A PRO CLEAN AFTER 43 YEARS. OTHERWISE ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES, NO PROBLEMS.

LP – SOUND – WE HAVE PLAYED THIS GREAT ALBUM BOTH SIDES THIS MORNING AND FOUND THE SOUND EXCELLENT ON OUR SYSTEM HERE. EXCEPT FOR THE STICK ON TRACK 6.

ONE HELL OF A GREAT FIRST ALBUM, NOT PERFECT AS MENTIONED BUT NOW SO RARE, WE HAVE PUT A LOW RESERVE ON THIS LP AS OUR PRICE GUIDE IS AROUND 10 YEARS OLD AND IT’S VALUED IN THE HUNDREDS OF £s EVEN THEN.

WE ARE AS CAREFUL AND AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE WITH THE GRADING OF OUR VINYL COLLECTION BOTH VISUALLY AND BY PLAYING, USING OUR SYSTEM HERE, BUT SINCE OUR VINYL COLLECTION IS IN MANY CASES UP TO 50 YEARS OLD AND AS WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OTHER SYSTEMS THEY WILL BE PLAYED ON,  THEY ARE SOLD ‘AS IS’ SECOND HAND ITEMS. CHECK OUR FEEDBACK WE GET OUR GRADING VIRTUALLY 100% RIGHT. IF WE MAKE A MISTAKE ON OUR VINYL WE WILL ALWAYS SORT IT OUT WITH THE BUYER.
