Matrix/Stamper No.s: NPL 18181A-1 ?F / NPL 18181B-1 ?F

Cover: Front-laminated flip-back cover, printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Beautiful condition with no seam splits, edge-wear or ringwear. Aside from a miniscule amount of wear on the corners, the spine is almost perfect, with all text clear and easy to read. There are three or four small laminate creases, but you really have to look for these. The opening edge is straight with no feathering. The unlaminated back is in superb condition with no ringwear, no grubbiness and no rubbing; just the merest hint of yellowing at the right-hand corner tips. Strictly graded as M-.

Inner Sleeve: White rice paper-lined inner sleeve. The sleeve has yellowed with age, but all seams are intact.

Labels: Original Pye pink labels with a few spindle trails on both sides.

Vinyl: Original heavyweight vinyl pressing (178 grams). Under a halogen light I see a few very fine hairlines and sleeve removal marks, none of which are sounding. On my turntable set-up I do hear some low-level background surface noise, but this does not detract from the music at all, which plays through with super sound quality – no skips, ticks, pops or distortion. If it wasn’t for the low-level surface noise, I would grade this as near-mint, so am strictly grading this as EX+.

Additional Info: All of the vinyl that I am selling is from my personal collection, and has been cleaned on a VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine. After cleaning, I keep all of my records in ‘Mobile Fidelity’ rice paper inner sleeves and store them with the records outside of the covers in plastic, re-sealable protective sleeves.
