THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION. WHEN EXAMINED CLOSELY AND THROUGHLY UNDER A STRONG LIGHT THERE ARE JUST VERY LIGHT BUT ALSO VERY MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS VISIBLE ON EITHER SIDE, THE LABELS ARE PERFECT WITH STRONG, BOLD LETTERING AND STILL DISPLAY THEIR ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR. THERE IS NO FADING OR RUBBING EVIDENT AND THEY LOOK SUPERB!..... LABELS FEATURE "JOBETE" & "GOTTA" ERRORS
THE GLOSSY HEAVIER WEIGHT VINYL IS SUPERB AND SHOWS VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF ACTUAL PLAY.

THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DULLING OR OTHER IMPERFECTIONS TO THE PLAYING SURFACE.
AUDIO IS FLAWESS, PRISTINE AND IMMACULATE THROUGHOUT. DURING ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELF (AND THIS COULD BE ITS ONLY EVER PLAY) I DID NOT DETECT ANY DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, BOTH RUN IN/OUT GROOVES ARE SILENT AS ARE ALL TRACK GROOVES, EVEN THE QUIETER PARTS OF THE AUDIO ARE FREE FROM ANY INTERRUPTION
THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT THICK EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT AND ISEXCELLENT WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING AND THE INEVITABLE CREASES WHERE THE VINYL HAS SAT IN THE SLEEVE, THE INNER IS COMPLETELY INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING.
THE OUTER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE, 1ST ISSUE "PATENTS PENDING" SLEEVE IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE.THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS SOME SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING. THERE ARE LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES PRESENT AND THE ODD LIGHT CREASE . THE FRONT IS STILL VERY CLEAN AND GLOSSY CLEAN WITH NO RINGWEAR PRESENT. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT WITH SOME SIGNS OF LIGHT AGEING VISIBLE. THE REAR IS STILL QUITE BRIGHT BUT IT DOES SHOW SOME MINOR AGE/HANDLING MARKS AND THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT CREASES VISIBLE TO TEH SIDE FLIPBACK, THE THREE FLIPBACKS DO HOWEVER ALL LIE PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WEAR.. THE SPINE IS RIGIDT WITH PERFECT WORDING AND THERE IS NO WEAR PRESENT. THE SLEEVE CARRIES TEH CORRECT LARGE STEREO LOGO TO THE FRONT AND THE "GOTTA" ERROR TO TEH REAR, THE SLEEVE ALSO FEATURES TEH FIRST ISSUE DARK PICTURE TO THE FRONT.
ALL THIS IS COMPLETE WITH ITS ORGINAL "NEMS" SHOP CLEAR PLASTIC SLEEVE, DIRECT FROM BRIAN EPSTEINS RECORD STORE IN LIVERPOOL THE SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT. IT SHOWS SOME LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND THE ODD VERY SMALL NICK BUT THE SLEEVE IS INTACT AND THE TEXT IS STILL READABLE.
