Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed stereo cover.

Matrix numbers: YEX 659-1 & YEX 660-2
Stamper codes: 1/O & 1/O

CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair with no more than 2 spindle trails to each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces are perfectly clean & glossy with no significant or major signs of wear in strong daylight. Close inspection beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals some tiny marks and a few scratches on side 2 but certainly nothing major.
Play: EXCELLENT -
This copy has clearly been barely played. All tracks play without any traces of groove/play wear and apart from an occasional light click on the side 2 tracks 'Try It' and 'Butterfly', there is little to spoil the enjoyment of this outstanding pop/psych album.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
An extremely respectable example with a clean & glossy front panel bearing just a single light crease (through the 'S' of 'HOLLIES'). There is some minor shelfwear to the lower corners but no significant damage to either opening edge. The rear panel is clean & unblemished with no marks, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are intact and both seams and the spine are smooth, unstressed and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean, crisp & white with no splits, tears or writing.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on an EMT 950 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
