Stamper codes: 3 S AMT/ 2 S ALT
Condition:
Vinyl: EXCELLENT +
Labels: EXCELLENT
The labels are bright, clean and without writing. Only a handful of light spindle marks can be seen on either side.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Immaculate 'factory-fresh' deep-gloss playing surfaces. Underneath a halogen desk lamp a few barely visible wispy hairlines can be seen alongside a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
The heavy-weight vinyl sounds superb. The record has clearly only ever been played on good quality equipment. The lead-ins are quiet and there is minimal static in between tracks. The record plays with the distinction one might expect from such an early pressing throughout. The bass is punchy, the vocals are crisp and clear and the instrumentation is well defined. It's great.
Sleeve: VERY GOOD +
The rare sleeve looks very good +. The front and reverse laminate retains the original lustre and the cover art maintains vibrant, deep colour. The inside is very clean with only subtle signs of handling discolouration. Three corners have minor bumps. Bottom front right corner has a bend with minor creasing to laminate. Spine has very minor bumps to the top and bottom edge. Original Record shop stamp to inside of the cover (see pic) - some people like this sort of thing, but I will mention!
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT -
The original inner sleeve is in excellent - condition, with only one 4" split to one edge. It is clean, with minor staining and with minimal creasing. It is slightly discoloured with age. The vinyl is housed inside an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the record and inner sleeve.
