LABELS: The 1st HARVEST labels are in MINT condition with NO wear, NO writing and NO spindle traces. Both labels 10/10
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain their original DEEP, GLOSSY SHEEN. Both sides 9.5/10
VINYL Audio: SUPERB - CRYSTAL CLEAR, SHARP, STRONG and VIBRANT SOUND - BEAUTIFUL RICH AUDIO. Pink Floyd's soundscapes cover an AMAZING dynamic range from the loudest crescendos to the almost silent ambient details which makes it difficult to find early pressings which will play without excessive click/pops and/or surface noise but this copy plays BEAUTIFULLY throughout (even the quiet middle section of 'Echoes' plays as quietly as vinyl possibly can). There are NO scratches, NO skips/jumps, barely any clicks or surface noise (really, hardly ANY) and the album plays up to an extremely high standard with BEAUTIFUL CLARITY, NO groove-wear and NO distortion.
SLEEVE: The original 1st issue FULLY TEXTURED SOFT GATEFOLD cover is also in SUPERB condition. CRISP, CLEAN and FRESH. BEAUTIFUL 1st PRESS SLEEVE. BOTH SIDE 8.5-9/10
The original Harvest inner is also in GREAT condition with NO splits. JUST HAS AGE RELATED YELLOWING. 8.5/10

SPINE IN GREAT CONDITION 8-8.5/10
