1970 - vertigo - 6360-009
Matrix 6260009 1y1 111 / 2y1 116

Cover : VG - there is one sellotape repair to the left flap and 2 small tears to the right flap (pic 2. Gives the best information on these) there is some rubbing to the bottom of the flaps

Inner sleeve : VG a little yellowing. Made in england. (Pic 3)

Vinyl : side one : GOOD (The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.)
In all I counted eight very light hairlines and two lighter scratches. one of these is a meandering one on track 4 and causes crackle on this track, the other is on track 5. There is also one heavier scratch on track 5 that unfortunately causes clicks for most of the song. But it does not stick or jump.

Vinyl : side two : VERY GOOD I counted 5 very light hairlines and playback seemed very good.
(The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.)
The labels are in very good condition with no writing or damage.

Please contact me with any questions. Cheers.
