The outer 'wide spined' Garrod & Lofthouse flip-back gatefold cover is super - It shows the numbers 0521665 which corresponds correctly to these export issues! It has retained a lovely sheen to the surface and has no rips or tears. It is an all important TOP LOADER, has minor age related wear / dirt / discolouration.
The x2 LP's have the incredibly rare yellow and black parlophone export labels which are fabulous! The vinyls have a lovely sheen to the surface and they sit completely flat with no warping. Side 1 is EXCELLENT with minor surface wisps. Side 2 also has wisps and a couple of non feelable hairlines. Sides 3 and 4 have seen better days, with quite a few wisps and scratches.
The x2 Original black protective inners are super!Β They have so splits to any of the seams, there is a small nic on one, near to the viewing window.
The x4 band member posters are all there! The pictures are still vibrant, clean and glossy. Have pin holes to the corners.
The larger poster is also very good, showing only tiny pin holes/splits where the poster has been kept correctly folded for so long.
OVERALL A RIDICULOUSLY RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER FIND TO ADD TO YOUR MUSICAL COLLECTION!!
