THE SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL, ELABORATE BOOK / SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME VERY MINOR RUBBING TO ONE OF THE CORNERS. THE STAPLES HAVE NOT RUSTED AT ALL AND ARE NICE AND SHINY. THE TWENTY-EIGHT PAGE BOOKLET, INCLUDING THE BLUE PAGES WITH THE LYRICS, IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH JUST VERY SLIGHT SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING. THERE IS A NAME INSCRIBED ON THE FLAP INSIDE THE FRONT COVER. STILL A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE OF THIS AMAZINGLY COMPLEX SLEEVE.
THE INNER SLEEVES
IMPORTANTLY THE WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVES WITH WAVY TOP OPENINGS, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND A FEW SMALL CREASES. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT TANNING.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE TWO SLICES OF HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL ARE IN EXCELLENT / VERY GOOD CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS ON SIDES ONE AND TWO. OVER SIDES THREE AND FOUR THE MARKS ARE A BIT MORE PRONOUNCED. THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT DISC ONE. DURING DISC TWO THERE IS PERSISTENT SURFACE NOISES, SOME CRACKLE AND A FEW CLICKS AND TICKS.
THE LABELS
THE BLACK & SILVER “PARLOPHONE” PAPER LABELS, WITH FOUR-PRONGED PUSH-OUT CENTRES, ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT MARKS PER LABEL. THERE IS A FEINT 3-LETTER INSCRIPTION ON THE SIDE ONE LABEL. THE LABELS FEATURE THE “GRAMOPHONE CO LTD. …” TEXT, AND “SOLD IN THE U.K. SUBJECT ...” TEXT. THERE IS AN EMBOSSED “KT” TAX CODE ON SIDE 2 & SIDE 4 LABELS.
