 Lovely shine and as flat as the day it was bought.
This vinyl REALLY STANDS OUT...The audio is wonderfully clean and clear throughout, even quiet inbetween tracks and in the run-ins and outs too....MAGICAL!
Visually I cannot see any marks at all to side 1 other than some incredibly light angel hair markings from simple removal and replacement of the inner. Side 2 has just a coupld of insignificant, light marks to her-but these were not heard through playback.
*SIMPLY SUPERB*
Side 2 as has the PERPETUAL ENDING.
CERTAINLY NOTHING AT ALL TO MAKE HER JUMP OR SKIP.
FLAT as the day she was born in 1967.
The bass is lovely rich and deep.
A pure joy to listen to-TURN HER UP...Especially at the start of Sgt Peppers on side 2!!
NON-BANDED.
Quality TOP audio.


Labels:
EX+.
 Lovely and clean.
I can only see a handfull of very faint marks-but these are only noticed when angled towards the light and looking for them!
With ZERO central hole wear to either side.
 "KT" raised tax code to side 2.
"The Gramophone Co. Ltd..." rim text
"Sold in the UK" central statement.
Simply lovely example!
**FRAME THIS BABY**


Inner Sleeve:
EX.
 It is the ORIGINAL 'Fools Inner'....These are getting increasingly hard to find. This one has kept it's vibrant red & white colour...
Not only that but on one side there is, what looks like to be an official E.M.I tamp...please see the images for yourselves. Maybe this was part of EMI's own stock..?..
Has a 11cm split to the bottom, that is all....SHE IS ALL ORIGINAL!
"Made In Great Britain"
"Patents Applied for"


Cut-Outs:
Near Mint.
DEEP GREEN colour. Nothing else needs to be said!!!


Cover:
EX+.
**IT IS THE INCREASINGLY RARE WIDESPINE VERSION....8MM IN WIDTH**
Strong, UNCRUSHED and legible spine!!
The front cover is still lovely and bright, as is the back cover and the inner picture. There is some very slight knocking to the top and bottom of the spine, but nothing to be worried about at all.
 Just 6 or 7 small half crescents of spidering to the front and the back-visible when angled towards the light, as well as 3 or 4 little fingers of spidering from the seams. I am being critical as well as honest as possible, so bid with confidence.

Still opens with the slight crackle as if just bought in 1967!

Garrod & Lofthouse
Really is a lovely RARE cover.

SO FOLKS-THIS IS A VERY WELL PRESENTED, COMPLETE, RARER WIDESPINE VERSION OF A CLASSIC ALBUM...STILL PLAYING THROUGH WITH CLARITY AND POWER.
ALL TOPPED OFF WITH THE ORIGINAL DARK GREEN CUT-OUTS AND THE ORIGINAL 'FOOLS' INNER.... PLUS...AN OFFICIAL E.M.I STAMP!!
