Vinyl:
HEAVY QUALITY 148g
EX+!! I can only see very light and whispy marks from removal and immediate replacement after playing this beauty....These DO NOT AFFECT PLAYBACK!!
I have just played her and was greeted with simply SUPERB clear sound reproduction.
GORGEOUS
NO skips or jumps
Deep and rich sound
FLAT, HEAVY AND SHINY
Labels: Near Mint...I cannot even see any faint spindle marks!
NO hole wear to speak of.
No "Sold in the U.K." text.
Rim text starts with "GRAMOPHONE Co.Ltd."
These were made around the very end of the 1960's and the very start of the 1970's
TOP NOTCH!
"MADE IN GT BRITAIN" text to bottom of the label.
Cover: EX(+)! Bright white cover WITH ONLY 2 Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks....NOW you don't get to see these very often! These were fazed out in favour of the much more common covers with the flipbacks pasted on the inside-not many of these around and certainly not in this superb condition!
Garrod and Lofthouse Patents Pending print to the back, bottom flipback
I can just see two small crescents of spidering to the front, near the opening THAT REALLY IS IT!
STRONG spine
STRONG corners
REALLY QUITE UNUSUAL
LAMINTED front
BRIGHT, WHITE BACKING CARD
**SUPERB**
Inner: EX+. It is the all ORIGINAL SEPIA ADVERT inner- in TOP condition! Just a crease to one corner.
Certainly done her job by keeping this record in great condition.
So.......
ALL IN ALL THIS REALLY IS A TOP NOTCH COLLECTOR PIECE
WITH THE RARER 2 FLIPBACK COVER..??!!
SUPERB AUDIO
-SO GRAB THIS BEAUTY WITH BOTH HANDS...YOU WON'T FIND ANOTHER IN THIS CONDITION FOR THIS PRESSING IN A LONG TIME
