KALEIDOSCOPE-FAINTLY BLOWING-1ST UK FONTANA-STL 5491-STUNNING EX+ PSYCH GRAIL!!
CAT NUMBER: STL 5491
ORIGINAL PRESS UK, FONTANA RECORDS
MATRICES: SIDE 1- 886496 1Y//1 V 420 11 51 1                       SIDE 2- 886496 2Y//1 V 420 11 1      A TOUGH ONE TO GRADE, ALTHOUGH VINYL LOOKS UNPLAYED, IT DOES HAVE THE WATERMARKS THAT MOST PRESSINGS OF THIS EXTREMELY RARE RECORD SEEM TO HAVE, BUT IT CAME IN A COLLECTION OF CLASSICAL LP'S, SO I WOULD IMAGINE IT WAS NOT TO THE OWNERS TASTE....AND LOOKS LIKE IT WAS PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE MAXIMUM.(I ONLY LISTENED THROUGH THE WATERMARK AREAS ONLY FOR GRADING REFERENCE, AS TO MAINTAIN ITS UNPLAYED STATUS AS BEST AS POSSIBLE). IT IS BY FAR THE BEST COPY I HAVE EVER SEEN!!
SIDE 1- EX++/NM LOOKS UNPLAYED. VERY CLEAN AND SHINY NO SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES, SMALL WATERMARK IS ONLY ON RUN IN GROOVE (SEE PICS) AND DID NOT SOUND ON PLAYING!
SIDE 2- EX+ LOOKS UNPLAYED, HOWEVER, THERE IS A STAIN OR WATERMARK LINE APPRX 1.5 INCHES (SEE PICS) THIS DID NOT SOUND ON PLAYING THROUGH AFFECTED AREA.


NOTORIOUSLY FRAGILE LAMINATED SLEEVE WOULD BE IN NM CONDITION WITH NO TEARS OR SPLITS,  CLEAN LAMINATE SURFACE, STUNNINGLY CLEAR , CRISP SPINE, HOWEVER, A PREVIOUS OWNER DECIDED TO REMOVE THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE INSIDE OF GATEFOLD, IT IS DONE REASONABLY NEATLY, AND FROM THE OUTSIDE, THE SLEEVE LOOKS NEW, HOWEVER THIS DOES KNOCK THE GRADING OF THE SLEEVE TO A VG+ IN MY OPINION...SEE PICS... ….(SEE PICS) OG INNER ...  SEE PICS.
THIS HARDLY EVER SHOWS UP IN ANY CONDITION.... SEE PICS…….
