Detailed description
Vinyl:
The vinyl has its original high sheen and is VG+. When viewed under bright light, there are a few hairlines and sleeve removal lines. On side 1 there is a 1" line, but this is superficial and does not produce any sounds.
I have played the entire record on my Rega RP3 with ELYS2 cartridge and it sounds clear and vibrant with only the slightest background crackle in the quieter sections.
Labels:
Both labels have light spindle marks. The side 1 label also has the KT tax code stamped near the centre hole.
Sleeve:
The sleeve is the flipback with "File under POPULAR : Pop Groups" text printed on the rear top flip-back. It is clean with no writing etc. and light signs of use.
The spine text is clear and 100% readable.
There are light signs of use at the opening and there is minimal wear at the corners.
Inner sleeve:
Original black / white EMI advertising inner sleeve. No splits, tears or damage, just minor signs of age and use.
A nice complete example
******************************************
Vinyl will be sent in a brand new Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab inner sleeve and will be well packed using only the highest quality oversize record mailing box with stiffeners that protects the record and sleeve corners, which can often be damaged.
