Visually the record has a fair amount of wear on both sides. Scuffs and scratches are all about and it's clear that this LP was very much loved back in it's day. The audio playback reveals surface noise, clicks and pops and unfortunately some jumps on Side 1 when I playtested: Two on "Anna", two on "Chains" and one on "Ask me why". Otherwise the LP played through smoothly on my system without any other major interruptions, but please be aware there are rotational ticks and crackle from age and use. I'd grade it as Fair to avoid disappointment. I think the jumps could be cleared out, as often is the case with the resilience of 1960s vinyl, but I'm not going to attempt this myself and I'd rather leave that choice to the owner. This LP is very much worn, unfortunately.
Comes with an original mono Ernest J. Day Cover which grades as Fair, too. Has a fair few signs of wear including a tear on the top side of the openings. Generally aged and worn all about.
Unfortunately the original Emitex inner sleeve is long gone with this one. It comes with a generic poly-lined inner from the era.
I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you
