THE CASUALS
HOUR WORLD LP
DECCA (SKL-R 5001)
1969
MATRIX Nos: ZAL-8690P-2K / ZAL-8951P-2K
SLEEVE CONDITION: EX-
EDGES TOP & BOTTOM: NO SPLITS OR TEARS. NO SHELFWEAR TO TOP & BOTTOM EDGES. OVERALL IN EX CONDITION.
SPINE: NO RUBBING OR COMPRESSION. NO SPLITS. TINY BIT OF WEAR AT EITHER END. STILL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
FRONT: JUST THE ODD LITTLE EDGE CREASE (MAINLY ON THE SPINE EDGE), A VERY LIGHT CREASE TO LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER AND A VERY SMALL 'WRINKLE' TO THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER. NO OBVIOUS RINGWEAR AND NO SPLITS, RIPS, WRITING OR TEARS. OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT WITH NO FEATHERING AND JUST A LITTLE DISCOLOURING. LAMINATE IS 100% INTACT. IN NICE CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE.
REAR: VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT WITH JUST THE ODD LITTLE EDGE CREASE AND A LITTLE LIGHT CREASING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER. NO RINGWEAR AND NO SPLITS, RIPS OR TEARS. SMALL NAME WRITTEN IN LARGE PICTURE IN RED FELT TIP. OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT WITH NO FEATHERING. VERY NICE CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE.
INNER SLEEVE: DECCA POLY LINED COMPANY SLEEVE. NO SPLITS, RIPS OR TEARS AND JUST A LITTLE LIGHT CREASING. ALBUM TITLE AND BAND NAME WRITTEN ON ONE SIDE IN RED FELT TIP
RECORD CONDITION:
OVERALL THE RECORD IS EX+ DISPLAYING NOTHING BUT A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL INSIGNIFICANT SURFACE MARKS ON EITHER SIDE AND ONE VERY VERY LIGHT SCRATCH ON SIDE ONE THAT IS BARELY TANGIBLE. NO OTHER SCRATCHES, RUB MARKS OR OBVIOUS SURFACE MARKS TO BE SEEN. EVEN IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT THERE ARE BARELY ANY SLEEVE REMOVAL TYPE HAIRLINES. I WOULD GUESS THAT THIS RECORD HASN'T BEEN PLAYED A GREAT DEAL. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1st STEREO PRESSING FROM 1969
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT WITH JUST A FEW VERY SMALL FAINT SPINDLE MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. NO STICKERS, WRITING OR OTHER UNWANTED MARKS.
PLAYBACK IS A SUPERB EXCELLENT (OR BETTER) WITH NOTHING TO SPOIL THE SOUNDTRACK. BACKGROUND NOISE IS VIRTUALLY NON EXISTANT AND THERE IS NO SURFACE NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS, MAYBE JUST THE VERY OCCASIONAL TINY STATIC TYPE TICK. THE FAINT SCRATCH ON SIDE ONE IS JUST ABOUT AUDIBLE AS A LITTLE BACKGROUND TICK TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK THREE BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT AND IS NOT AT ALL DETRIMENTAL TO THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE. NO OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS AT ALL. PLAYS THROUGH BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR DISTORTION FREE SOUND.
DIFFICULT TO FIND DECENT COPIES OF EARLY 1960s LPs BUT THIS ONE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT
POSTAGE WILL BE ROYAL MAIL WITH TRACKING
