CONDITION

LAMINATED FRONT ‘FLIPBACK’ SLEEVE – HAS SOME CREASES MOSTLY AROUND THE EDGES, STILL PRESENTS WELL.

REAR ‘MATT’ SLEEVE – HAS SOME HANDLING MARKS FROM OVER THE YEARS, AND THERE IS A DEDICATION FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER,

LP – LABELS – BOTH EXCELLENT.

LP – VISUALLY – ON CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER NATURAL LIGHT THE ALBUM HAS SURFACE MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, SO NOT THE GREATEST VISUALLY, BUT WE HAVE FOUND THAT DURING PLAY AND SOUND THAT NO MARKS CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS [ SEE NOTES BELOW ]

LP – PLAY – ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES, NO PROBLEMS.

LP – SOUND – IF EVER AN ALBUM WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED WITH PLENTY OF VOLUME IT’S THIS ONE. WE HAVE PLAYED THIS TWICE TODAY TO BE SURE OF THE SOUND QUALITY AND FOUND THAT IT WAS EVEN HARD TO FIND ANY BACKROUND NOISE THROUGH THE SPOKEN TRACK ‘THE GIFT’ STILL SOUNDS EXCELLENT ON OUR SYSTEM HERE, BUT A STRICT VG+ON SOUND.

ORIGINAL ISSUES OF THIS FANTASTIC ALBUM NOW HAVE A VERY HIGH U.K. CATALOGUE VALUE. NO DOUBT THIS IS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE BEST ONE IN EXISTANCE, BUT A JOY TO LISTEN TO NEVERTHELESS AT A REAL BARGAIN START PRICE.
