Cover: Non-laminated gatefold cover, printed and made by the E. J. Day Group. There is some rubbing on the bottom edge, some corner-wear and the faintest hint of ringwear on the back near the top edge. Apart from this, however, there are no seam splits, no tears and the opening edge is still fairly straight with no feathering. Aside from the aforementioned corner-wear, the spine is still in fairly nice shape; a little light rubbing in parts, but the text is clear and legible. Strictly graded as EX.

Inner Sleeve: Original black paper poly-lined inner sleeve, with “PATENT Nos. 1125555 1072844” and “MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN” text in grey ink. There are two tears originating from the label viewing window (see photo), and two seam splits along one of the edges; a 5cm split from the opening edge and a smaller 3cm one.

Labels: Original Neon labels with barely any signs of spindle wear.

Vinyl: Looks near-mint under normal lighting. Under a halogen light I can see some areas, particularly on side 2, where the vinyl has reacted with the polythene of the inner sleeve, but this has no impact on playback whatsoever. Plays near-mint throughout; no pops, ticks, skips or distortion.

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 my records in ‘Mobile Fidelity’ rice paper inner sleeves and store them with the records outside of the covers.
