the disc is unmarked in strong daylight.

Closer inspection beneath halogen light reveals ONLY the lightest sleeve removal mark no further noticeable blemishes or wear. LOOKS UNPLAYED

Sound

This disc sound is clean & unworn throughout. There is no trace of the crackle or groovewear which spoil so many of these pressings.

Aside from a little regular low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is little to fault on this keeper copy.

Cover: EXCELLENT +

Seldom seen in this condition, this impressive example retains an unworn, high-gloss front panel laminate where the only signs of wear are some small spine wrinkles. There are certainly no 'thumbnails' or any other creasing or wear whatsoever. There is minor shelfwear bruising to the upper left and lower right corners but both opening edges are perfectly clean, so much so that it is clear to see precisely where the laminate ends.

The rear panel is clean and white just a small age related foxing and completely unblemished, as are all of the flipbacks.

Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is fully worded.

Original Emitex

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +

First pressing. August 6, 1965. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text. Capitol print. Tracing-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner sleeve. With KT tax code on the label.

Variation A. The original 1st labels used a Sans-Serif font and the * credit indicator for “I Need You” was placed to the right of the song title with a space between: I Need You *.
