THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION TO BOTH SIDES. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT REVEALS JUST LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE, BUT ABSOLUTELY NO SPINDLE WEAR. LABELS ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND ALL LETTERING IS PERFECT AND CRISP WITH NO RUBBING. LABELS FEATURE "THE GRAMMOPHONE CO" RIM TEXT AND "SOLD IN UK" TEXT.

TH EGLOSSY MIRROR LIKE VINYL IS STUNNING, HAVE RECEIVED JUST A FEW PLAYS THE VINYL DISPLAYS JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL SURFACE MARKS. WHEN VIEWED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT THERE ARE JUST LIGHT MARKS EVIDENT, NONE ARE SEVERE AND NONE ARE FEELABLE. THE UNBLEMISHED VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.

AUDIO IS FLAWLESS AND MINT!!!.... OFFERING A TRULY UNRIVALLED PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT THIS VINYL DELIVERS A CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH. TRACK GROOVES AND RUN IN/OFF GROOVES ARE PERFECTLY SILENT AND EVEN THE QUIETER TRACKS PLAY CLEARLY WITH NO DISATORTION PRESENT. THERE IS NO NEEDLE LIFT PRESENT WHEN PLAYED.

THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING. THE INNER IS INTACT WITH JUST THE EXPECTED LIGHT CREASING, IT IS STILL BRIGHT WHITE AND STILL QUITE CRISP.

THE OUTER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE "PATENTS PENDING" DATED SLEEVE (6509) WITH OUTLINED STEREO TO FRONT IS IN STUNNING OVERALL CONDITION. THE VIBRANT FRONT LAMINATE IS EXTREMLEY CLEAN AND STILL VERY GLOSSY, IT DISPLAYS JUST TINY EDGE WRINKLES AND TWO OR THREE "THUMBNAIL" CREASES WHICH ARE NOT HIGHLY VISIBLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STIL STRAIGHT WITH JUST A HINT OF "FEATHERING". THEONLY CORNER BUMPS ARE TO THE BOTTOM CORNERS AND THESE REALLY ARE MINOR AND INSIGNIFICANT. THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS A STUNNING BRIGHT BRIGHT COLOUR WITH VIRTUALLY NO HANDLING MARKS, THE ONLY CRITICAL POINT TO THE REAR IS THE ORIGINAL OWNERS NAME NEATLY WRITTEN TO THE TOP ( BUT I DOUBT THIS WILL REALLY DETRACT FROM THE SLEEVES OVERALL CONDITION). ALL THE SEAMS LIE PERFECTLY FLAY WITH NO LIFTING OR CREASING. THE SPINE IS PERFECT, IT IS STILL RIGID WITH NO CREASES. ... THIS REALLY IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE.

COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 60'S SHOP BAG. THE PAPER BAG IS IN STUNNING CONDITION WITH NO TEARS OR RIPS AND IS TOTALLY INTACT.
