Sleeve - As you know the front and rear of this first press sleeve was banned and as such I haven't posted a photo of it. You'll have to trust me when I say I have spent many hours pouring over it!!! and I hope to have provided a detailed and accurate description of it. Fully laminated gatefold sleeve, with white inside text and small pics of Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding. Laminate is very clean, flat and bright, a couple of creases but no lifting of the laminate. A small amount of shelf wear on the corners. Opening edges are un-torn; there is a small amount of feathering however. No splits, tears or writing. Original poly-lined inner sleeves are in 'Very Good' condition, no rips, seem splits or writing, poly lining has become detached on one side of both inner sleeves.
Labels - In 'Excellent' condition. 1st pressing labels show hardly any wear, a few 'spider marks' visible only.
Vinyl - visually in 'Excellent' condition. Some light hairlines and paper scuffs are visible under strong light only on all sides but nothing 'feelable' and certainly nothing that sounds.
Audio consequently in 'Excellent' condition. A tiny amount of static audible on the run in of side 1 however the gaps between tracks are all very quiet indeed. No pops, skips or crackle audible on any track, even in the quietest of moments.
A cracking example of this great album.
I grade strictly in accordance with the record collector grading system. If you are not happy in any way I will fully refund you on return of the item.
All my records are sent in professional record mailers, with cardboard stiffeners, and identified as fragile
