This auction is for the vinyl LP  -  THE ANIMALS  -  THE ANIMALS.  1964 UK LP - COLUMBIA RECORDS - MONO 33SX 1669. The matrix numbers are ; A SIDE : XAX 2717-1N, with what also appears to be  2 11.  B SIDE : XAX 2718-1N, with what also appears to be 1  0. ( Please see label close-ups for track listings etc ).           Please note -  I play all my records, both sides, to check for any defects, I will mention anything I notice in the condition report.  Listened using my mid-range Audio Technica ATLP 120 deck with an Ortofon cartridge.  PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE ALBUMS..
Condition: The front laminate of the picture sleeve still retains a nice gloss, with only slight dulling through storage, visible when angled to the light.  The back of the sleeve has some age dis-colouration + some light marks / foxing to the opening edge, overall the sleeve = very good + condition.   The spine is strong and clear. There is NO record break-through to the edges.  The labels = excellent condition.   I have played both sides of this album and they sound / play great.    The vinyl has been played / loved and has some light scratches / marks / hairlines + some very light residue ripple marks from where the vinyl has reacted slightly to the 'Emitex' inner sleeve, nothing too significant and nothing that spoils a very enjoyable listen.  Overall, visually, the vinyl = very good +  condition.  Overall a great, enjoyable listen, with NO sticks or jumps.   Please note, any white flashes or shadows on my pictures are usually from the spot lights I use for photographing things, or the sun (if it's out), they do not appear on the actual cover or vinyl..  
Where appropriate, the record will be taken out of its picture sleeve ( or inner sleeve if applicable )  to prevent record breakthrough damage to the original sleeve whilst in transit, it will still remain in a protective paper sleeve.  The item will then be put into a new Covers 33  400g poly protective cover to keep it safe. All my records are sent out in a strong cardboard package marked '' vinyl records - please do not bend '' + '' fragile ''.   When grading my records I use the Record Collector Magazines grading guide: Mint = Brand new condition.  Excellent = The record will show some signs of being played, but very little lessening in sound quality. The cover etc. may have slight wear or creases. Very good = The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major sound deterioration, despite noticeable surface marks / light scratches.  The cover would have normal wear and tear - no major defects unless mentioned. Each description might be tweaked with a  + or - .  I play all my records and will mention anything noticeable.
