Matrix : YAX 5355-1 / 5356-3

This UK Original press is on the custom EMI label. It is complete with the early YAX 5355-1 / 5356-3 matrix, round corner die-cut inner sleeve and matt gatefold Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve.

The vinyl is in Very Good+ condition. It has a sensational gloss, there is no whitening or signs of heavy play at all. There are just a couple of very light marks on Side 1. The label is extremely clean. The colour is solid and unworn, the text is sharp and there is only slight spindle wear. 

The vinyl lies completely flat on the turntable and from the moment it begins it is exceptionally rich and vibrant. It sounds great - bold and clear. It isn’t perfect, there are moments of background noise in quiet moments and alittle noise at the start, if you want silent this isnt for you, but the moments of noise are not intrusive, it sounds great, enjoyable from start to finish.

The die-cut inner sleeve is extremely clean and bright. The red is exceptionally solid and the text is sharp. The edges are firm without any splits and the whole inner sleeve is solid. 

The matt Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. The cover image is very clear and sharp. The text is unworn and the colours are vivid. There are a couple of small marks and a tiny scuff on the top edge. The back and inside are in superb condition. The whole sleeve has it original light sheen and is still extremely solid. The spine is firm with clear text.
