VG++ Vinyl / EX- Labels / EX audio
This is a great example!
I will describe below....
This is an extremely nice example of the most famous rare record in the world and is graded as a strong VERY GOOD+++ or probably even EXCELLENT in most opinions.
The vinyl surfaces are fantastic and the black and gold labels are as good as you will ever see. This vinyl has been very well looked after and has obviously been very well cared for over the years with only the odd very faint marks here and there which become evident when tilted under light.
Audio playback is excellent from start to finish and along with it's fantastic looks makes this a serious investment piece.
Side 1 , has the 1G stamper and Dick James credits, the label is great and in EX condition with no unwanted wear. The vinyl has a deep shine and lies 100% flat there are just a few faint marks.
Side 2, has the 1R stamper and the MZT tax code on the label, Again this label is great only very light signs of wear, the gold lettering is wonderful, it is still bold and vibrant. The vinyl surface is much the same as side 1 and is in VG++ condition with just the odd faint mark here and there.
The outer sleeve is the true 1st pressing gold sleeve and it is in VERY GOOD condition. The front and spine are great but the rear does have some storage wear to the flipbacks and is age browned which is common, overall it has done it's job and protected the vinyl.
