CLEANED with Pro-Ject VCS MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner
HEAVYWEIGHT QUALITY 150g
It is the much RARER LOUD CUT version which was pulled shortly after it's release in 1965.
These are now becoming increasingly difficult to find-in any condition.
There are only some light, but superficial marks to the vinyl, which are not feelable when gently running across the vinyl with my finger.
 After giving her a gentle vacuum clean I played her all the way through I certainly didn't find any jumps or skips-just RAW, clear sound!
She really did sound wonderfully clear....Even inbetween tracks she was lovely and quiet :).
Lovely shine and weight.
SHE SOUNDS LOUD!
I was VERY happy with the audio reproduction. She has barely ANY background noise AT ALL!
Even the run ins were incredibly quiet!
GLORIOUSLY RAW, BUT CLEAN & CLEAR




Labels:
EX-.
Nice and clear on both sides.
There are just light spindle marks, visible when angled towards the light.
Gothic text rather than the more blocked and more frequenbtly found Roman text.
Minimal central hole wear.
Lovely and bright.
NO WRITING
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES PROVIDED AND CLICK ON THEM TO GET EVEN LARGER IMAGES-WITH MORE DETAIL.
Also-why not check out my feedback for true gradings and happy customers.
Very displayable.
KT Tax Code to side 1.


Cover:
EX!
 Shiny front cover...
VERY strong and clear and clean spine.
Strong corners, with very little rubbing or evidence of storage wear-LOVELY :)
NO SPLITS, RIPS OR TEARS.
Garrod and Lofthouse flipbacks in TOP condition, with very little wear.
I can see only 4 very small crescents of spidering to the front laminate, near the opening. With small fingers of spidering eminating from the seams...That is all!
Wonderfully glossy, with vibrant colours.
Even the back card has remained nicely white in colour!
NO WRITING
Please see the detailed images for yourselves.

*A SUPERB EXAMPLE HERE*



Inner:
EX+!
It is the all ORIGINAL "USE EMITEX" with the tracing paper lining.
"MADE IN ENGLAND"
Not only that but it is the earliest you can find; with the rarer "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" text to the bottom left on one side.
NO WRITING
NO RIPS
NO WORRIES ;)
TOP CONDITION.
Just with that good ole bit of light age discolouration is all...

GETTING HARD TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN SUCH GREAT ALL-ROUND CONDITION.
