THE PICTURE SLEEVE

THE FRONT-LAMINATED GARROD & LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE, WITH THE LARGE “MONO” ON THE FRONT AND THREE REAR FLIP-BACKS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE FRONT LOOKS SUPERB WITH JUST A FEW MINOR WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE. THE BACK IS VERY NICE AS WELL WITH JUST SOME LIGHT TANNING. THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR RUBBING TO TWO OF THE CORNERS. OTHERWISE THE EDGES AND THE SPINE ARE ALL IN SUPERB CONDITION AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE INSERT

WHEN I REMOVED THE RECORD FROM IT’S SLEEVE I FOUND AN ORIGINAL ‘PARLOPHONE Outstanding Records for your collection, E.M.I. Catalogue’! THIS 2-SIDED CATALOGUE LISTS MANY MONO & STEREO PRESSINGS ON THE PARLOPHONE LABEL IN THE EARLY 1960s INCLUDUNG THIS ALBUM (PMC 1206 / PCS 3045) AND IT’S PREDECESSOR ‘PLEASE PLEASE ME’ (PMC 1202 / PCS 3042)!! THIS 2-SIDED INSERT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT TANNING ABND A COUPLE OF MINOR CREASES.

THE NEMS POLY-BAG

THE NEMS POLYTHENE BAG, WHICH IMPLIES THAT THIS RECORD WAS PURCHASED FROM ONE OF BRIAN EPSTEIN’S TWO RECORD SHOPS IN LIVERPOOL, IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH WEAR AND EXTENSIVE CREASING. THE TEXT ON THE BAG READS - ‘A polythene cover is provided FREE OF CHARGE with every long playing record purchased from NEMS LTD’.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THIS RECORD IS COMPLETE WITH AN ORIGINAL POLY-LINED “EMITEX” INNER-SLEEVE, WHICH IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT DISCOLOURATION, MINOR WEAR AND A FEW CREASES.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY BLACK VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS AND SCUFFS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS GREAT ALBUM AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT WITH JUST SOME SLIGHT & OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE WHICH IS REALLY ONLY NOTICEABLE BETWEEN TRACKS AND ON RUN-INS. THIS CLASSIC LP STILL SOUNDS SUPERB!!

THE LABELS

THE BLACK & YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS, WITH SILVER TEXT, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. THE LABELS BOTH HAVE THE “THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD ...” AND “RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1963” TEXT. THEY DO NOT HAVE “SOLD IN THE UK” TEXT. THERE IS AN EMBOSSED ‘KT’ STAMP ON THE SIDE TWO LABEL.
