CONDITION

The Vinyls EXCELLENT +

On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks SUPERB, LOVELY, GLOSSY AND MIRROR LIKE SHINE I can only see ONLY A Couple of TINY FEINT hairlines under a strong light on side 2 only !!! WITH NO EFFECT ON PLAYBACK WHATSOEVER !!!  Any marks that could possibly be seen under a stronger light would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve! Importantly There is definitely NO needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all  !!!!!  SUPERB Mono First Press Example !!!

The Audio Quality NEAR MINT

I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system,  the audio is awesome! 

Crystal clear and vibrant through out, with NO distortion or any signs of groove wear at all  !!!! 

Certainly NO clicks pops or jumps!!  As good as it gets in my opinion !! 

THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES! 

GRADED AS NEAR MINT!! 

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 53 YEARS OLD !!!!! 

The Labels:  Excellent +

These are super ! Bright and clean, SPINDLE LINES can be seen on each side, angled in strong light but concentrated around the centre hole only.

Confirming this has definitely been played BUT VERY sparingly since 1967 ,

Please note! i am highly critical about the audio quality on my records as it is my prime interest above rarity!

This plays awesome you will not be disappointed.

The Outer Sleeve  VG+

This is the original GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE Laminated flip back Printed gatefold cover , with significant edge / corner rub evident, but nice clean glossy appearance, inside and front and rear 

NO RIPS OR NASTY NAMES WRITTEN ON ETC 

RICH IN COLOUR 

Worn but STILL FULLY LEGIBLE spine Far from perfect but overall in acceptable condition, please see pics to confirm.
