FULLY LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVETHE FRONT SURFACE IS MAGNIFICENT AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW.

VINYL

BOTH RECORDS ARE JUST IMMACULATE. THEY GLEAM LIKE THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION.

THE WHOLE THING PLAYS TO A MAGNIFICENT STANDARD. WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION, EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL TRACK PRESSING FROM 1967. THE SAME MASTERS MUST HAVE BEEN USED.

THE LP'S PLAY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT.

THE ONLY STATIC OCCURS IN A COUPLE OF THE RUN IN GROOVES AT THE START OF EACH SIDE, BUT OTHERWISE THEY SOUND JUST PERFECT..

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND CO GATEFOLD SLEEVETHE FRONT SURFACE IS MAGNIFICENT AND GLEAMS LIKE A NEW SLEEVE WITH A LAMINATED SURFACE THAT IS UNCREASED IN ANY WAY. THERE ARE NO BENDS OR FOLDS, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY INTACT. NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND CERTAINLY MO LAMINATE LIFT EITHER. INCREDIBLY THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, TWO MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE SPINE.

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ALL SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% UNWORN, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE IN PERFECT CONDITION, AND FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED.

THE SPINE IS ALSO TOTALLY PRISTINE, IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY INTACT, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED.

VINYL
BOTH VINYLS ARE JUST IMMACULATE. THEY GLEAM LIKE THE DAY THEY WERE PRESSED, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN.

LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE AROUND EACH OF THE HOLES.THE BLACK TYPE FACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED.

THE WHOLE THING PLAYS TO A MAGNIFICENT STANDARD. WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION,EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL TRACK PRESSING FROM 1967. I AM CERTAIN THE SAME MASTERS MUST HAVE BEEN USED.

THE LP'S PLAY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ANY POINT.

THE ONLY STATIC OCCURS IN A COUPLE OF THE RUN IN GROOVES AT THE START OF EACH SIDE, BUT OTHERWISE THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST PERFECT...

BOTH OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND IT'S OBVIOUS BY LOOKING AT THIS THAT THE LP'S HAVE JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES, AS THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG THE OPENING EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO CREASES OF ANY DESCRIPTION. ONE TINY LINE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM. NONE AT ALL NEAR THE SPINE AND AGAIN NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS ONE TINY FINGERNAIL SIZES SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT NEAR THE TOP OF THE SPINE.

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE PAIR OF LAMINATED INNER PANELS. GLEAMING WITH JUST A TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES ALONG THE TOP RIGHT EDGE

FINALLY THE TWO ORIGINAL POLYDOR POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION.
