THE SLEEVE

THE FULLY LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE, WITH TWO SCALLOPED REAR FLIP-BACKS, IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. SOME OF THE LAMINATE HAS PEELED AWAY. THERE ARE TWO TEARS TO THE SLEEVE; ONE (2cm) WHERE THE OPENING MEETS THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THE OTHER (2cm) AT THE OPENING NEAR THE TOP EDGE. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WRINKLES AT THE SPINE BUT THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS FULLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ALSO SOME LIGHT SCUFFING TO THE TOP & BOTTOM EDGES AND TO THE CORNERS. THERE IS SOME LIGHT TANNING TO THE REAR. THE FRONT AND BACK OF THIS GREAT LOOKING ICONIC SLEEVE STILL LOOK FANTASTIC - WHAT AN IMAGE OF THE KING!!

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES AND CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. BOTH SIDES PLAYED THROUGH BRILLIANTLY - LOUD & CLEAR; WITH ONLY THE VERY LIGHTEST BACKGROUND SURFACE NOISE TO REPORT. THIS SURFACE NOISE WAS A BIT MORE APPARENT DURING ‘OLD SHEP’! AMAZING RECORD AND AMAZING SOUND!!

THE LABELS

THE CLASSIC HIS MASTER’S VOICE LABELS WITH THE LARGE NIPPER LOGOS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST SOME TINY SPINDLE MARKS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS RECORD WITH SUCH CLEAN LABELS BEFORE.
