Condition:
Vinyl (VG+): Very good+ condition. The vinyl has a perfect glossy sheen. This is a used vinyl record, with only fine cosmetic lines on the surface and light surface blemishes/scratches that are not felt to the touch. These are barely noticeable or noticeable in light and do not affect the sound or playback quality in any way. I have tried and listened to both sides of this album and the sound quality is pretty good for a 55 year old vinyl record, with only some occasional light pops/noises in quieter passages and between songs, but NO loud pops, NO sticking, NO repeats, NO skipping or skipping. The album sits flat on the turntable, with no distortion. Please note that this is a used but well preserved record with a red apple on the back cover, which is hard and rare to find. This is a used vinyl record that is 55 years old.

Labels (EX-): Near Excellent condition. This label has the credit "An E.M.I. Recording" in parentheses and the chubby "Sans Serif" printing type, small 33 1/3. There are also a lot of number of light spindle marks around the center holes both sides which lead me to believe, that this album has been well played. Аpart from this observation the labels are in perfect condition with no writing, marks or tears.

Album cover (EX-): Near Excellent condition. This pressing has a both sides fully laminated sleeve single type, full-coated cover, perfect glossy sheen. No inscriptions on the sleeve, no laminate marks and  tiny laminate creases at edges to both sides of sleeve. One note is a slight crease on the front cover at the sleeve entrance. An EMI Recording + Printed and made in Great Britain by Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd.

Spine (EX): Excellent, Fully readable, without remarks.

Original Rare Apple Records white plain paper inner sleeve with “IMPORTANT NOTICE COPYRIGHT EXISTS IN ALL APPLE RECORDINGS” text, with PATENT Nos. 1.125.155.” on the left side and “MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN” on the right side. These sleeves were manufactured by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. and E.M.I. used between 1970 and 1973.
