THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT & BACK LAMINATED, GATEFOLD SLEEVE, WITH THE OUTLINE “MONO” ON THE FRONT IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THIS IS A NOTORIOUSLY HARD SLEEVE TO FING IN TOP CONDITION AND THIS ONE WILL PROVIDE AN UPGRADE FOR MOST COLLECTORS. THERE IS JUST A HINT OF WEAR IN THE LAMINATE AND TINY CREASES TO THE TOP TIP OF THE SPINE AND TO ONE CORNER. NO OTHER FLAWS TO REPORT - A STUNNING SLEEVE, WITH A PERFECTLY ATTACHED FLAP AND NO FEATHERING AT THE OPENING.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL TISSUE-LINED “EMITEX” INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME VERY LIGHT WEAR AND SOME MINOR TANNING.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME VERY SLIGHT MARKS AND ONE SCUFF ACROSS TRACKS 2, 3 ON SIDE ONE. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS GREAT ALBUM AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT APART FROM SOME DULL REPEATING POPS DURING TRACK 3, SIDE ONE.
THE LABELS
THE BLACK & YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE BOTH IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH SOME SPINDLE MARKS AND SOME FOXING MARKS. THERE IS A “KT” TAX STAMP EMBOSSED ON THE SIDE 1 LABEL.
