THIS IS THE RECORDING NORMALLY REFERRED TO AS THE "LOUD CUT" PRESSING WITH -1 MATRICES TO BOTH SIDES THE RECORD COMES IN AN E.J. DAY SLEEVE DATED (6512) WITH THE CORRECT TISSUE LINED EMITEX INNER
LAMINATED RECORD SLEEVE FRONT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION UNCRUSHED SPINE WITH CLEAN OPENING EDGES WITH JUST THE ODD LIGHT CREASE AROUND THE EDGES ( HARD TO MAKE OUT IN THE PICS ) SLEEVE REAR HAS UNDAMAGED FOLDOVER SEAMS WITH A CLEAN INNER UNLAMINATED PANEL
TISSUE LINED EMITEX INNER IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION UNDAMAGED APART FROM SOME LIGHT RINGWEAR AND CORNER CREASES ,ONE CORNER HAS BEEN FOLDED TO STORE THE RECORD PROPERLY IN THE SLEEVE WITHOUT DAMAGING IT OR THE SLEEVE ,A COMMON PRACTICE FOR COLLECTORS IN THE SIXTIES ,THERE IS ALSO A NUMBER 80 WRITTEN IN ONE CORNER ( POSSIBLY SOME SORT OF FILE REFERENCE )
THE VINYL RECORD HAS A SUPERB DEEP GLOSSY FINISH TO THE SURFACES IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE JUST VERY LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AND THE VERY LIGHTEST OF A SMALL SCUFF NOTHING WHICH IS FEELABLE OR THAT AFFECTS THE AUDIO
LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN WITH UNWORN CENTREHOLES AND THE LIMITED SPINDLE MARKS ARE CONFINED TO THE VERY CENTRE OF THE RECORD ON EITHER SIDE
A TEST PLAY PRODUCED QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES WITH EXCELLENT AUDIO AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO, REALLY IS A WELL LOOK AFTER RECORD AND SLEEVE AMAZING TO THINK IT WILL BE 59 YEARS OLD NEXT MONTH
WE DO PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI FOR REVIEW SO WE CAN ONLY COMMENT ON WHAT WE HEAR AND PLEASE REMEMBER OTHER SYSTEMS CAN GIVE A DIFFERENT RESPONSE
