CONDITION : GOOD+ / side A: VG- / side B: VG+ (Sleeve/Record)
DESCRIPTION : The record has been played quite a bit, but reasonably well looked after. Generally audio is superb (no crackle) apart from some noticeable scratches on side 1. A few marks don't sound - but a few do. I don't normally rate individual tracks, but it's worth doing for this classic:
A1 "Introduction" plays excellent
A2 "Hazey Jane II" - light clicks at very end of track
A3 "At The Chime Of A City Clock" - light clicks at start of track
A4 "One Of These Things First" - a few random light pops.
A5 "Hazey Jane I" - plays excellent
Side 2 plays pretty much excellent for whole side, a few light pops here and there.
Labels are excellent, no writing, marks tears or discolouring.
Sleeve shows quite a bit of wear - un-laminated texture means it's more prone to wear than other early 70s records. Sleeve shows general wear, with edge rubbing on top and bottom. Spine has rubbing and 3" seam split - text mostly illegible.
So, to sum up, a mostly enjoyable copy of a very rare album which commands £400+ in top condition. Not utterly wrecked, plays with no crackle, just let down by a few small scratches. A good collection filler copy...
