LABLES CARRY THE "PARLOPHONE CO" RIM TEXT AND "SOLD IN UK" TEXT....... SIDE ONE CARRIES THE RAR E"FACTORY SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE" STICKER
THE GLOSSY MIRROR LIKE VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB WITH JUST THE ODD VERY LIGHT BUT SUPERFICIAL SURFACE MARKS , THESE ARE MINIMAL AND WILL MOSTLY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE VINYL BEING REMOVED FROM ITS SLEEVE.... IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS HASNT BEEN OVERPLAYED. THE VINYL LIES FLAT WITH NO WARPING E.T.C..... VISUALLY THIS LOOKS VERY VERY APPEALING.
THE MONO AUDIO APPEARS TO BE FLAWLESS WITH NO DISTORTION PRESENT. RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND TRACK GROOVES ARE SILENT. THE AUDIO IS CLEAR IS AND CRISP.
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS EXCELLENT WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING.....
THE OUTER "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS STUNNING. IT DISPLAYS THE ODD LIGHT CREAS TO THE FRONT AND SOME VERY MINOR BUT INSIGNIFICANT CORNER BUMPS.... FAR LESS THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED AND PROBABLY CAUSED THROUGH STORAGE. THE REAR IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN WITH NO MORE TAHN TWO OR THREE VERY SMALL CREASES.THE INNER OF THE SLEEVE IS EXCEPTIONAL WITH JUST A HINT OF HANDLING, ALL THE SEAMS LIE FLAT WITH NO LIFTING AND THE SPINE IS STILL RIGID. THE FRONT LAMINATE IS STILL VIBRANT AND RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL GLOSS. THE SLEEVE IS FREE FROM WRITING E.T.C AND INTACT. THE SLEEVE STILL RETAINS ITS DEEP SHEEN. THIS IS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE..... THESE SLEEVES ARE RENOWNED FOR BEING VERY FLIMSEY AND MANY DIDNT SURVIVE THAT WELL.
OVERALL A REALLY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS UK 1964 MONO IST PRESSING WHICH OFFERS SUPER LABELS AND VINYL AND MINT AUDIO AND IS COMPLETE WITH A TOP QUALITY SLEEVE AND IS A VERY VERY RARE FACTORY SAMPLE VERSION!!!!!
