I WILL NOW DESCRIBE THE CONDITION OF THIS ALBUM:
THE ALBUM SLEEVE
THIS IS THE CORRECT ERNEST J.DAY & CO SLEEVE WHICH HAS WEAR WITH CREASES/TEARS AND CELLOTAPE REPAIR NOTABLY ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE AND ALSO HAS A SPLIT ALONG THE FRONT EDGE,THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS TORN ON THE OPENING AND THERE IS WRITING AND GLUE/WAX ON THE SLEEVE SO ONLY IN FAIR/GOOD CONDITION. IT RETAINS NICE GLOSS ALTHOUGH WORN.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THIS COMES WITH THE CORRECT "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" AND "PATENT NUMBER" SLEEVE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO. IT HAS LIGHT FOLDING/STAINING AND HAS STARTED TO BROWN AND THERE IS A SMALL SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM ALTHOUGH OVERALL A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE [THE RECORD WILL COME IN A NEW WHITE SLEEVE].
THE LABELS
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTO,S,THIS ALBUM HAS YELLOW AND BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS AND "SOLD IN THE U.K SUBJECT TO" ON THEM, ALSO "THE GRAMOPHONE CO.LTD" AROUND THE RIMS. THERE IS SOME SPINDLEWEAR AND LIGHT WEAR, ALL THE SCRIPT IS NICE AND READABLE SO VERY NICE EXAMPLES. THIS IS AN EARLY PRESS IT SHOWS THE "K.T " TAX MARK ON THE CENTRE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL RETAINS SOME ORIGINAL GLOSS,THERE ARE MANY LIGHT MARKS VISIBLE OF WHICH SOME ARE FEELABLE ON THE VINYL WHICH CAUSES SOME CRACKLE [MOSTLY ON SIDE 1 WHICH HAS HEAVIER CRACKLE ON "ELEANOR RIGBY" AND "YELLOW SUBMARINE"] ON SIDE 2 THE PLAYBACK IS BETTER WITH SOME CRACKLE ON "FOR NO ONE",SCUFFS/MARKS ARE VISIBLE AND THERE IS A "DULLING" ON THE VINYL OVER THE TRACK "TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS" WHICH HAPPILY DOES NOT AFFECT PLAYBACK OF THIS RARE TRACK !! THERE IS ALSO A SLIGHT WARP EVIDENT WHICH DID NOT AFFECT PLAYBACK BUT OVERALL THIS WOULD ONLY GRADE AROUND GOOD SO PERHAPS A GAP-FILLER UNTIL YOU HAVE SAVED UP A SMALL FORTUNE TO BUY A MINT COPY [IF ONE EXISTS!!!]
POSTAGE/PACKING WILL BE £3.50.
HAPPY BIDDING!!!!
