CONDITION
Cover: NEAR MINT condition original Garrod & Lofthouse International Ltd. print! As expected with a 45 years old album with the thinner UK cardboard stock cover, some minor creasing exists. What is unexpected, this cover has no scuffs on the front, no scuffs on the back and amazingly no wear on the sealed edges. The only sign of very limited wear is at the side opening. And this is very limited.
Just look closely at the actual scanned images!
Vinyl: Very, very, very conservatively rated NEAR MINT condition. Sensational playback. The vinyl retains all of its original shine. Under a bright halogen lamp, only a few short, very minor paper scuffs exist on side one. None on side two. Vinyl is stored in a MFSL record sleeve.
Matrix Runout Side 1: YEX 749-2 PNT
Matrix Runout Side 2: YEX 750-1 PAA
Label Description: These are the dark Apple Labels with the centered “33?” under the (“An E.M.I. Recording”). These labels are MINT without spindle or any other marks.
Vinyl Sleeve: Included is the original white Garrod & Lofthouse International Ltd. sleeve (MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN, PATENT Nos. 1125555) in EX condition. Later first pressing inner sleeves were black. No seam tears; only the expected fading after 45 years.
Please closely examine the actual scanned images. You will be amazed.
