LOVE - 'DE CAPO'
This NEAR MINT UK 1st MONO pressing of their 2nd album LP dates from initial January 1967 release

CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A clean & unblemished pair with small number of light spindle trails around the side 2 centre hole
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which retain all of their 'as new' factory deep-gloss shine and are unmarked in strong daylight. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals little more than a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine
Sound Quality: MINT
Carefully and sparingly played on top-quality equipment all its life, every track on this disc plays beautifully and is free from any trace of audible wear. You will not find a better sounding copy
Cover: EXCELLENT +
An extremely strong and unworn example which apart from a touch of storagewear has little to fault. The front panel is clean with a hint of storage rubbing and there is a touch of shelfwear to the lower corners. the rear panel is clean & unblemished and both seams are unstressed & unsplit
The spine is perfectly clean & straight and fully worded throughout
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
