Country:UK Released:1969 Genre:Blues CONDITION: EX+ / N MINT. The fine looking sleeve has the remains of a price sticker on the top right corner, this is removable with a little patience and warm water, after which you would have a discreet mark. Lamination creases can be seen on the front, very usual for this sleeve, nigh impossible to find this without the lamination creases. The corners have just a touch of buffing with the mouth edge also showing light buffing towards the top and bottom, very light, fine mouth edge with no fingering indentations and perfect lamination. When tilted to the light the impression of the vinyl can be seen on the top and bottom front, very discreet. The spine edge has a lamination crease running down the front but is otherwise perfect, no edge creases or scuff marks whatsoever, clean crisp spine and text. Looking on the rear, the very top left hand corner has a very discreet pen mark, the price, a very light partial dirt/fading ring can be made out, this is most apparent when circling over the brown surface of his hair. All text is completely legible, this side retains most of its whiteness but there are some other more lighter and more discreet dirt marks on the rear, please check the pictures on supersize for further clarification, a fine looking sleeve. Superb labels, clean and crisp, looking under a strong light reveals very little in regards to wear. No more than a few tiny spindle trails on each side, one llong spindle trail mark can also be seen, obviously only seen under a strong light. The centre-hole is just about perfect with side two having a tiny white buff at 6 o'clock, otherwise superb no finger or dirt marks and near new. The vinyl does not let this down, it retains its new shine and looks clean. One, just visible, surface mark can be seen on this new looking record. This actually appears to originate from the time of pressing, not a scratch or a scuff mark, the only way i can think to describe it is as a silver bending line that runs across two tracks, this bending line is made up of from lots of miniscule silver dots and lines, this does not appear to penetrate the surface in any way, can not be felt by your finger, it is very discreet and best seen under a strong light. In any case its completely non-audible and a little unclear as to what kind of mark it is. Playing with very little, if any, lessening in sound quality, certainly not suffering from any reduction in sound quality due to wear, no distortion, fading or dragging and just about as good as it gets. Collectors copy and a fine collectable. grading table
