Cover: Garrod & Lofthouse 1st pressing laminated front (unlaminated rear) with triple flip-backs. Clear readable spine. No writings, doodles or seam splits. The top right corner of the rear cover has a small scuff on the flip-back. Because this cover has no messages/writings or any other ink blemishes it has to rate as Excellent - almost impossible to get a cover without some sort of writing on it.
Original EMI poly-lined inner sleeve: VG+. No writings or doodles. A bit grubby on one side.
Labels: VG+. No writings, stickers or doodles.
Vinyl: Play tested. Thick heavy duty 1st pressing vinyl. Looks VG(-) with feathering/hairlines. Plays much better than it looks at VG+ to Near Excellent with only light occasional crackle and the odd clicks/pops. A great listening experience - a testimony to the quality of these 1st pressings that it plays so well after all these years.
