 THE MINDBENDERS
THE MINDBENDERS LP
FONTANA (TL 5324) BLACK/SILVER LABEL
1966 1st PRESS 
SLEEVE CONDITION: EX

EDGES TOP & BOTTOM: NO SPLITS. LAMINATE INTACT. NO SHELFWEAR OR RUBBING AT ALL. OVERALL, EXCELLENT.
SPINE: COMPLETELY INTACT. LAMINATE INTACT. SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY NICKS. PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
FRONT: JUST THE ODD TINY LITTLE EDGE CREASE AND JUST A VERY FAINT HINT OF RINGWEAR NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE ONLY REALLY VISIBLE WHEN TILTING THE SLEEVE BACK AND FORTH IN THE LIGHT. NO SPLITS, RIPS, TEARS OR WRITING. JUST A LITTLE VERY LIGHT FEATHERING ON THE OPENING EDGE. LAMINATE IS 100% INTACT WITH JUST A TINY PATCH STARTING TO LIFT ON THE LOWER PART OF THE SPINE EDGE. A VERY NICE EXAMPLE FOR A 60 YEAR OLD SLEEVE.
REAR: NO CREASES, SPLITS, TEARS OR WRITING AND NO RINGWEAR. FOR A SLEEVE THAT IS PREDOMINANTLY WHITE IT HAS STAYED REMARKABLY CLEAN WITH NO SOILING OR DIRTY MARKS AT ALL. SO HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS. OPENING EDGE IS NICE AND STRAIGHT WITH BARELY ANY FEATHERING. OVERALL, A SUPERB EXAMPLE.
INNER SLEEVE: COMES WITH IT'S POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE (MAYBE THE ORIGINAL BUT I'M NOT SURE) WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH BARELY ANY CREASING. NO SPLITS OR TEARS.

RECORD CONDITION:
BOTH SIDES CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS CLOSE TO MINT. ABSOLUTELY NO MARKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION ON THE VINYL WHATSOEVER. NO SCRATCHES, SCUFFS OR OTHER UNWANTED MARKS. EVEN IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO BE SEEN EXCEPT A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT 'BRUSH' MARKS AND THE ODD TINY SLEEVE REMOVAL LINE. LOOKS PRETTY MUCH NEW. IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THIS RECORD HAS ONLY HAD VERY LIGHT USE. A SUPERB TOP COPY. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS ONE.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT AND SUPER CLEAN WITH NO SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE. ORIGINAL 1st PRESS BLACK AND SILVER LABELS. HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS.
PLAYBACK IS SUPERB AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. BARELY ANY BACKGROUND NOISE ON RUN IN'S AND NO NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS, MAYBE JUST THE VERY OCCASIONAL TINY STATIC TYPE TICK. PLAYS LIKE IT WAS BOUGHT YESTERDAY.
OLD 1960s LPs HARDLY EVER COME ALONG IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS LP ANYWHERE. 
A FANTASTIC UPGRADE COPY.
 POSTAGE WILL BE ROYAL MAIL 24 HOUR WITH TRACKING
