Condition

 

Vinyl-  Excellent+

 

Vinyl has a lovely sheen. The disc has little to fault it, just a few very fine hairlines and wispy sleeve removal lines in bright light. Just one needle stick mark on Side 2.

 

Audio - Excellent

 

Audio is clean and bright. There is light background noise and a little crackle (in places) throughout, more obvious to run in/run off and between tracks. A lovely listen through this classic album.  

 

 

Labels- Excellent

 

Labels are in lovely condition, The lighter green Apple label has just a few visible spindle trails to both sides. A little quirk to the side 2 label. It has been put on upside down! So the matrix number is below the top of the label and stampers are upside down when looking at the label right way up.

 

Sleeve– Very Good+

 

The Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve is also in nice condition. A few light creases, with a few thumbnails towards the opening edge. Spine is clean and fully readable with a tiny scuff above the A on the word Road. Some light storage wear to corners with a small split to the bottom edge.

 

Inner Sleeve- Excellent+

 

Generic poly-lined black sleeve with just some very light creasing.

 

 

Record will be removed from sleeve for posting. I will always obtain proof of posting.
