CONDITION (using RRPG grading):
VINYL: EXCELLENT++. Both sides of this early mono UK first press heavyweight 156g vinyl have a nicely-retained deep, black sheen. Several faint paper sleeve "removal" marks on both sides of vinyl - which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp. There are also a couple of other small visual-only marks, which do not affect playback - guaranteed. There is occasional low background hiss on both sides - which is only audible between tracks and in the very quietest parts of the record. Audio playback is a solid 7.5-8.5/10 throughout. The production on this earliest ever mono pressing is AWESOME - with beautifully-defined instruments and amazing, solid soundstage throughout. A joy to listen to this pressing. Vinyl has been carefully stored away since the early 1970s. Record sits flat, has no warps and plays through with no skips, sticks or jumps.
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT-. Flipback unlaminated G & L outer sleeve shows usual signs of wear to its top and bottom edges (but no tears or rubs) and ringwear on the front only. Back cover has "Northern Record Supplies" stamped quite small on the top righthand corner. Otherwise, no tears, stickers, folds or writing.
SPINE: EXCELLENT. Very minor and typical signs of wear to the delicate unlaminated matt card. No folds, tears or writing.
LABELS: EXCELLENT+. Just a few light spindle marks - most of which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp. No stickers, tears or writing.
OTHER: Paper inner sleeve is EXCELLENT-. One side has "Northern Record Supplies" stamped quite small on the top lefthand corner. Minor discolouring to the bottom edge. Otherwise, no tears, stickers, folds or writing.
