UK POSTAGE COSTS HAVE INCREASED: PLEASE SEE EXAMPLES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LISTING. UK BUYERS CAN NOW COMBINE POSTAGE UP TO 1kg IN WEIGHT ALL FOR £4.50...SO BUY 2 LPs AND SAVE MONEY!   VINYL

Vinyl looks VG with several light hairlines and a few light surface scuffs. Audio is EX with very little background crackle on run ins and in between tracks. Surprisingly good throughout, just an occasional light pop here and there, nothing at all intrusive. A tad more background crackle between tracks 3 and 4 side 1, and also at the start of side 2 but loud song volume easily covers it. Top stereo separation, fabulous tone and volume, loud pressing! No distortion. Plays superbly on headphones!

OUTER SLEEVE

This is the much harder to find sleeve with the Philips Record credit on inner gatefold. The vast majority do not have this credit, even those with labels with the Philips credit...Sleeve is in VG+ condition with light to moderate visible wear to edges, and a little more on the spine. Has a name written neatly on rear sleeve. No seam splits. Reasonable copy overall, but what makes this collectable is the Philips credit.
