EX
Glorious sheen to the record and wonderful sound reproduction. There are just a few incredibly light wispy marks to the vinyl, which do not affect playback. I noticed a revolutionary Shhh at the very start of track 1 on both sides-but this disappears around 1 min in to the tracks-it is due to s small dimple at the very edge of the vinyl, but does not make the needle jump at all as it is very slight.
I have just had the joy of playing her through on both sides and found a simply superb audio reproduction from QUALITY vinyl-I certainly did not find any skips or jumps!
The audio reproduction was clean and clear throughout.
Lovely and heavy
The Labels:
EX+.
1st pressing labels.
They are slightly lighter in colour than the later Harvest labels. Also of note is:
EMI in a box at 3 O'clock, with "The Gramophone..." rim text, showing this to be a 1st pressing.
"MADE IN GT BRITAIN" at 6 O'clock at the bottom of the label.
NO writing, rips/tears.
Barely any hole wear and only a handful of light spindle marks-visible when angled towards the light.
NO WRITING.
RARE 1ST PRESSING.
The Cover:
EX+.

It is the ORIGINAL Textured gatefold cover. With texturing to BOTH the inside and outside. The spine has been just VERY lightly rubbed, with NO SPLITS and remains perfectly legible! With the corners also being just lightly rubbed..She remains WONDERFUL-so rare to see this very 1st print of this iconic gatefold in such magical condition..
To the inside gatefold there are some very light spots of foxing due to age-but hey, we all have them ;)
PLEASE SEE THE DETAILED IMAGES FOR YOURSELVES.
NO WRITING.
The Inner:
EX.
**NOW THIS IS RARE TOO-IT IS THE ORIGINAL ‘HARVEST’ ADVERTISING POLY-LINED INNER**
Certainly done her job inprotecting this wonderful slab of vinyl.
The only thing to note is the poly-lining has become unstuck to one side on the inside-other than that, there is some slight age discolouration...That’s it!
NO WRITING
NO SPLITS
**RARE**
ALL IN ALL THIS IS A VERY 1ST PRESSING OF A FANTASTIC ALBUM.
SHE STILL PLAYS THROUGH WITH CLARITY & VIGOUR.
**WITH THE 1st PRESS TEXTURED GATEFOLD & HARVEST ADVERTISING INNER**
SOUNDS GREAT AND LOOKS GREAT TOO.
