Vinyl
The vinyl really is in excellent condition. There are some light marks under normal light but no heavy scratches. Any marks that are evident in no way hinder the audio performance. During the play test I hardly noticed any static. Indeed if there is any it is not noticeable. At worse some very very fine static during run in / out grooves and between tracks but nothing else to note and no pops / serious crackles / jumps or skips. An really excellent example and enjoyable listen.
Any bidder would not be disappointed.
Sleeve
The Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd patents pending laminated flip back sleeve with outline 'Mono' wording is in excellent plus condition and rarely come this good. I can honestly say that the condition is probaby as good as the day it was released! I can't say much more as it is splendid in every way.
No splits or tears.
Spine solid with text fully legible.
Labels
The standard yellow block Parlophone labels are Excellent as are the spindles. The ''All Rights of the manufacturer'' message starts with ''The Gramaphone Co Ltd'' and does have '' Sold In The UK'' statement.
Inners
The record comes complete with the original 'emitex' inner which is in excellent plus condition.
Please bid / purchase with confidence.
