COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL TINTED EMI COMPANY ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE (with the "E.M.I. RECORDS (The Gramophone Company Ltd)", "Made and printed in Great Britain" and "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" text)

Side 2: I’m Alive / Just One Look / On a Carousel / Stay / Look Through Any Window / Stop Stop Stop / Jennifer Eccles
LABELS: Clean, fresh and unmarked with only one possible light spindle trace on one label, none on the other - this copy has been part played just the once or possibly never played at all - NEAR MINT
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces retain their original deep, like new glossy sheen and are practically unmarked. Side Two has some light pressing blemishes within the vinyl itself (from manufacture) but no later marks, Side One is unmarked - NEAR MINT
VINYL Audio: Sensational audio reproduction throughout with a clean, crisp, sharp and vibrant sound and detailed stereo separation - each instrumental and vocal part is crystal clear with an 'in-the-room' immediacy which sounds stunning. On playback at a loud volume there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no surface noise (the run-ins and track divisions are practically silent) and no clicks or pops - exceptionally clean copy. Critically graded MINT for audio - fantastic, practically unplayed original copy
SLEEVE: The G&L front laminated flipback cover has crisp, sharp edges and spine ('pinched' at the top and bottom) with all text clear and bold. The front laminated surface has a deep glossy sheen with a little rubbing showing as record impression. The unlaminated back is very clean. EXCELLENT (+)
and the original tinted EMI inner is NEAR MINT

REDUCED POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (EACH ADDITIONAL LP: EUROPE & INTERNATIONAL £2.00)
I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY CUSTOM WRAPRO MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks
