Vinyl:
151g! QUALITY Heavyweight vinyl.
**EX-**
 Lovely weight.
There are just a very few VERY light, marks to the vinyl.
 Certainly NO skipping or jumping...After giving her a gentle professional clean on my VC-S MkII Vacuum Record Cleaner, I played her all the way through and was very, VERY happy with the CLEAN & CLEAR sound reproduction.
I was particularly taken by the superbly clear bass line of Norweigan Wood...Lovely and clear and really made me take notice.
GORGEOUSLY RICH AND DEEP SOUND REPRODUCTION
I barely heard ANY background noise-even during transitions!...
Michelle had a wonderfully quiet transition from The Word into Michelle and then played through beautifully clearly.
Visually there is some blooming/residue to the vinyp-I think it has been kept in one of those poly-lined inners for a long time...BUT what is visible makes no difference to the superb clarity of playback.
I am being rather critical.
She is a very, VERY nice copy indeed
FLAT AS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN


Labels:
EX+
VERY FRAMEABLE HERE.
There are only a very small handful of incredibly light spindle marks and these really only visible when angled towards the light, with ZERO central hole wear-as you can see by the images provided, there really isn't any wear.
Proud and raised "KT" tax code to side 2.
"The Gramophone Co..." rim text as well as "Sold In U.K." text.
NO WRITING

Cover:
VG+!
Patents Pending. Shiny front cover...There are only around 1 or 2 small crescents of spidering to the front laminate, with some small fingers of spidering emanating from the seams.
 The corners carry only gentle rubbing & light knocking.
There is a little well repaired nick to the top seam-it didn't make it allthe way though and has been nicely repaired.
SUPERBLY strong and legible spine.
Wonderfully WHITE back card-free from any writing....GORGEOUS.
EXCELLENT, SOLID Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks.
Very, VERY nice example.
