Mono UK first press to the best of my knowledge.
Firstly, the record.
Visually it's aged well with only a handful of very light marks. No significant deep impact damage.
Labels are clean and unmarked with very little spindle damage.
I have play tested this record from start to finish (no *visual testing only* nonsense) & it is great. Really only the very bare minimum of sound deterioration and I firmly think that with a professional clean it would sound as good as new.
Secondly, the sleeve.
As far as damage is concerned there is a little edge wear & a bit of shelf scuff at the top. On the front top corners there is a little pen marking as you can see in the picture. The back of the sleeve is pretty amazing. They are generally grubby & discoloured due to being unlaminated but this one is really one of the cleanest I've seen. Spine is strong, sharp & readable.
Original emitex inner in fairly tidy shape albeit with a couple of sympathetic repairs to the edges to prevent further deterioration.
Further notes:
G & L flipback
Pleasing Times New Roman font on labels
KT tax code on side B
Track A4 listed on label as follows: I Need You*
All of which is as honest and accurate as possible but please feel free to ask any further questions.
This is over 50 years old & has neither been used as a dinner plate nor kept in a bank vault. If you're realistic with your expectations then you'll be delighted with it & it should sit pretty in any half decent collection.
Sensible offers welcome.
I post promptly and securely and I make no money on postage.
Good luck and happy bidding
