misty mountain hop titled
THIS LP IS IN STUNNING,NEAR MINT CONDITION,AFTER EXAMINING IT IN STRONG LIGHT I COULDN'T FIND FAULT,JUST THE LIGHTEST HAIRLINE ON TRACK ONE,SIDE TWO.tHE VINYL IS SUPERBLY SHINY.iT LEADS ME TO THINK THAT IT WAS ONLY EVER PLAYED CAREFULLY TWO OR THREE TIMES AND THE VERY MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS AND LACK OF INNER SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS SEEM TO BEAR THIS OUT.ON THE SIDE 2 LABEL THERE IS A SMALL INITIAL "D"JUST BEFORE THE A OF ATLANTIC.
THE PRINTED INNER SLEEVE IS STILL STRONG AND SQUARE WITH ONLY A SMALL CENTRAL BOTTOM SPLIT AND VERY MINIMAL WEAR.
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE I WOULD DESCRIBE AS VERY GOOD/EXCELLENT.FACE ON THE IMAGE AND SURROUNDING PATTERN IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE THOUGH THERE IS A SMALL STICKER REMOVAL MARK ON TOP RIGHT CORNER,THE SMALL INITIAL "D" APPEARS AGAIN TOP LEFT,THERE IS A CREASE ON BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AND THERE IS SOME WEAR ALONG EDGES,PARTICULARLY THE SPINE WHERE THERE IS SOME FRAYING HERE AND THERE THOUGH BY NO MEANS IS IT FALLING APART.
THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS EXCELLENT EXCEPT FOR A SMALL TEAR ON THE FOLD THAT ORIGINATES ON THE SPINE,THOUGH IT'S SMALL.
BACK COVER IS GOOD WITH SOME LIGHT GENERAL AGE WEAR AND THE SMALL INITIAL AGAIN ON TOP LEFT CORNER.
IN SIMPLE TERMS I WOULD SUMMARISE THIS RECORD AS AN EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL VINYL IN AN OUTSTANDING INNER SLEEVE AND AN OUTER GATEFOLD SLEEVE THAT IS STILL BETTER THAN COULD USUALLY BE EXPECTED ON A RECORD OF THIS AGE AND POPULARITY.
