Original Advertising inner is in Excellent condition with no splits or wear
Earliest Ernest J Day flipback sleeve with NO file under pop in top right corner is in Great condition for its age. Front still has some gloss with light rubbing/ringwear only, a few creases near opening edge and some tiny creases around edges. Top right and bottom left corners have a bit of wear. Spine is crisp and fully readable. Opening edge has some light wear. The back has some light discolouration from opening edge and a few small marks to edges of flipbacks. Top left just under flipback there is a very faint name but is not really noticeable unless you really look, no other wear.
Both sides of the vinyl under strong artificial light have some faint hairlines and whispy marks/scuffs and a few faint scratches, still has a great shine on both sides.
Labels have signs of being played around spindle hole when held in strong light, no wear or writing.
Played all the way through on my budget deck and wow the audio is still strong and vibrant with little to no lessening in sound quality, there is light crackle/faint clicks in quieter parts throughout but once the music gets going it does not ditract from the music, i personally like that light background only vinyl can provide. No skips or jumps, loud pops or loud clicks. A great listen. It has not been cleaned so will benefit from a clean.
There are so few copies of this rare record, a great listen and really nice example
I will also be listing a 1st Press copy of Dark Side of the moon in the next day or 2.
Will be very well packaged in a cruciform mailer with added stiffners, vinyl removed from sleeves and placed in new inner to prevent damage.
Shipping can be combined for UK bidders, for overseas bidders I use the ebay global shipping so I cannot combine shipping.
