THEIR FIRST SELF TITLED AND DEBUT ALBUM, AND IT PLAYS LOVELY !!!!
THIS IS THE ANIMALS, WHO ARE A RYTHM AND BLUES, BLUES ROCK BAND FROM, NEWCASTLE ON TYNE, FORMED IN 1962, AND ARE STILL PERFORMING TODAY !!!! THIS R & B CLASSIC WAS RELEASED IN THE UK ON 30th OCTOBER 1964, AND YET ANOTHER SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!    DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

COVER ::  ORIGINAL MONO FRONT LAMINATED FLIPBACK, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTF. PATENTS PENDING, WITH SUPERB SPINE AND EDGES, JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP, BUT THERE IS A SMALL TEAR IN THE MIDDLE ON THE FRONT SIDE ONLY, AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO !!!! VERY NICE LAMINATE, JUST A FEW SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES, AND GREAT NEWS IS, THE BACK IS FREE FROM WRITING, AND IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION THAN MOST, AS THEY DO TEND TO AGE BADLY, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, JUST SOME LIGHT AGE RELATED HANDLING MARKS, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A VERY STRONG  :: VG+ .

VINYL :: PLAYS SUPERB WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, POPS, CLICKS, STATIC OR CRACKLE, AND ALL I HEARD WAS....

ON SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 HAS FOUR FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, AND TWO MORE TOWARDS THE END.

WITH TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3.

SO NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT !!!!

VISUALLY, THERE ARE QUITE A FEW HARMLESS COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES AND A FEW SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, WITH A TINY EVER SO SLIGHTLY FEELABLE HAIRLINE, IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1, ON SIDE 2, WHERE THOSE FOUR FAINT TICKS CAN BE HEARD AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY NICE  :: EX .

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, JUST LITERALLY A COUPLE OF SMALL FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX .

POLYLINED INNER  ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING, AND A BIT OF CORNER CREASING IN TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG+ .
