VINYL CONDITION

Visual:

SIDE ONE  VG - / Clean and glossy. Close inspection directly under a bright light source reveals numerous wispy sleeve removal traces, a few small surface scuffs and a few light hairlines

SIDE TWO  VG- /  Clean and glossy. Again, close and careful inspection directly under a bright light source reveals numerous wispy sleeve traces and light hairlines

Audio: 

SIDE ONE  - VG / near silent run in...occasional but not many super soft static pops during the first few songs. There's a touch of light crackle during the silent band before "Fixing A Hole" and a bit of super low level crackle only apparent during this songs fade and begining of this sides most exposed track "She's Leaving Home. Theres a repeat click during the very fade of "She's Leaving Home" into "Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite"

Most of this sides static pops are negligible..far behind the music and during silent bands. The crackle and repeat click mentioned are very soft and do not distract

SIDE TWO - EX+++ /  only a few, very soft, negligible static pops are audible on this side and a mild surface presence during the very last moment of this sides final piano chord fade. Super sounding!!! 

This very early and heavy weight pressing has master tape clarity and seperation with an unbelievable amount of transparency!!! One of the best copies I've had the pleasure of owning..rich, full bodied, musical and magical!!

Labels:

SIDE ONE - EX / light spindle traces/rubbing

SIDE TWO - EX / light spindle traces/rubbing

Sleeve: G+ / Beautiful front and rear laminated Garrod and Lofthouse sleeve. Front cover is nice and clean..super GLOSSY. Small laminant creases and bends. Opening shows wear/feathering. Rear sleeve is also nice and clean with a few creases and bends..no major faults. The corners and spine show the most wear. "Lonely" on the spine is not legible: the laminant is lifted and cracked. The inner two corners are very worn: laminant is worn away.

Insert: EX+++ / No major faults and barely any handling wear

Inner Sleeve: VG / Original "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" red and white "Fool's" inner sleeve. No dirt/stains or major faults. One side seam split and one bottom seam split..both about four inches in length. Minor opening wear. Vinyl has been stored in an MFSL protective inner sleeve.
