Garrod and Lofthouse front laminated sleeve with visible backflaps to rear.

Famously there is a "loud cut" version of this LP with 1/1 matrix numbers. This 4/4 issue is actually the earliest pressing to come after the loud cut.

Vinyl is fairly well played but grades a top end Good by playback. A large number of spider trail marks are visible at both spindle areas, but not to the point where the labels are worn and whitened. Else the labels still have a decent gloss. The vinyl is visually probably better than G and still has a pretty decent lustre. However, there are some scuffs, hairlines and light scratches. These are not too great in number and there are no really deep digs or gouges.

Original "Emitex" inner structurally fairly sound but age toned and with some slight overall undulation type creasing.

External sleeve is also structurally sound, but is slightly bent out of shape and again with some slight overall undulation type creasing. This may be a sign that at some point there was some water damage although both the inner and outer sleeves are completely dried out with no staining or obvious mustiness. The rear panel of the sleeve is actually in pretty decent shape, still very white and clean, and there is no staining, loss, pen etc. to the sleeve. The edges are well preserved, spine intact, and entry side still very acceptably neat and unfeathered.
