COVER :: ORIGINAL FRONT AND BACK LAMINATED, GATEFOLD PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD LOFTHOUSE Ltd TPSA 351, PRINTED INSIDE . THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE SOLID, WITH A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS WITH THE OPENING EDGES STILL SHARP. NO LAMINATE LIFT, BUT THERE ARE SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THERE ARE A FEW WRAP AROUND LAMINATE CREASE LINES ON THE SPINE, WHICH HAVE CAUSED A TINY RUB ON EACH CREASE LINE, AND SOUNDS WORSE THAN IT ACTUALLY IS, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD WHICH IS MADE OF HEAVIER CARD COMPARED TO LATER COVERS, NOTHING TO REPORT, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE :: VG .
VINYLS :: THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, NO CRACKLE, STATIC, AND IN FACT NO CLICKS, OR POPS, SO INCREDIBLE CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO
ALL I HEARD WAS.....
ON SIDE 1 :: JUST TWO FAINT TICKS ON TRACK 1 .
ON SIDE 2 :: JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1, AND A SINGLE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 2 .
ON SIDE 3 :: TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE, AND THREE FAINT TICKS A BIT FURTHER IN, ON TRACK 1 .
ON SIDE 4 :: JUST TWO FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START .
VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, JUST SOME FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX . YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED, AS THIS EARLIEST FIRST PRESSING SOUNDS WONDERFUL
LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, JUST A FEW VERY FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX .
ORIGINAL INNERS :: THERE IS A SMALL SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ANOTHER ONE ON ONE SIDE EDGE, ON ONE INNER ONLY, AS THE OTHER HAS NO SEAM SPLITS. THERE IS ALSO A BIT OF WRITING AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, AND THE VINYLS WILL COME IN NEW POLYLINED INNERS ALONG WITH THE ONES LISTED ABOVE :: VG .
WHAT A LIVE DOUBLE ALBUM THIS IS, AND A GENUINE UK 1ST PRESS THAT PLAYS AMAZING AS WELL. ALSO ORIGINAL EARLIEST GATEFOLD COVER, SO ONE NOT TO MISS THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME ROSE.
