CONDITION:

THE MAIN SLEEVE: is in overall, very good+ condition, the sleeve would have been graded higher but there is a 50mm split to the bottom, centre edge of the sleeve. The front of the sleeve is laminated. There are NO 'thumb' creases to the front laminate. The two opening edges of the sleeve are clean and sharp for their age. The spine is in near excellent condition and has remained clean and white and all of the text on the spine is clear to read. The rear of the sleeve features the original UK period, tri 'flip back', ie fold over edges. There are NO tears. To the front, top left corner there is a small area of some old tape residue. On the rear, top right corner there is also a small area of some old tape residue. On the rear there are two very small blue pen lines and one pencil 'tick'.

THE INNER SLEEVE: is in very good++ condition and is the original period 'CBS / Philips' plain white, ‘British Patents’ inner sleeve. Theres NO pen writing, tears, splits, stickers or sticker residue to the inner sleeve. There is some 'creasing' here and there.

THE RECORD: each side of the record is in near excellent condition. The record is made of the period, 1960s thick, heavy vinyl. The record has remained dark and glossy.

The records 'engraved' matrix is: side one – BPG 62022 1L 2 420 VVV, side two – BPG 62022 2L 1 420 1?,

THE AUDIO: each side of the record plays very good+, each side plays with some 'pops' and ‘crackle’. The record plays with a full powerful, period mono sound. The record lays flat on the turntable.
