rims The KT purchase tax code is present around the side 1 centre hole Matrix numbers: YEX 178-3 YEX 179-3 Stamper codes: 2/GH 2/GM Vinyl weight: 163g Housed in a front laminated, tri-flipback Garrod Lofthouse printed cover with the black stereo indicator in the upper right corner of the front panel complete with its original contemporary red white EMI advertising inner-sleeve CONDITION Disc Labels: NEAR MINT A pristine pair with nothing more than a few tiny faint spindle trails around the side 2 centre hole only Visual: EXCELLENT Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which retain all of their factory shine and are, apart from a few harmless paper scuffs on side 1, unmarked in strong daylight.
Closer inspection directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals one or two tiny surface marks on side 2, but nothing I would call a scratch Sound Quality: NEAR MINT This flawless sounding copy has received just a handful of careful plays on top-quality equipment and the sound quality is clean, clear and unworn throughout.
My single playcheck found no evidence of any groove/playwear, ticks, pops or any other audible distractions Cover: EXCELLENT Impossible to find in any condition, this superb example bears very light wear only and would be tough to upgrade The front panel retains an unscratched unrubbed high-gloss laminate, free from any thumbnail wrinkles or other significant wear The all-important black stereo indicator is bold unworn There is a touch of shelfwear to the corner tips but both opening edges are sharp and unworn.
The rear panel has a small blemish on the spine flipback and two smaller spots on John s face but is otherwise clean and more importantly, bright white Both seams are smooth unstressed and the spine is fully worded and undamaged Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA.
