Solid very good plus VG vinyl which comes across as unmarked in normal daylight, giving off an impressive jet black lacquered sheen. Closer scrutiny under a bright light reveals a few very wispy hairlines and extremely faint paper scuff lines on each side - each non-obvious, non-feelable, surface only, and purely superficial. The labels are excellent EX with all red text on plain white background in perfect order, the only blemishes being just 5 or 6 very small and extremely faint spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each side. Clearly, this is a record that has been only sparingly played. Again, very good plus VG condition front-side laminated Garrod Lofthouse outer sleeve : nice firm edges, including the spine where all spine text remains perfectly intact. There are a number I counted 23 of 1-2 cm front-side laminate crinkles adjacent and perpendicular to the top, bottom and spine edges and some slightly more noticeable but still minor diagonal surface creasing towards the bottom right corner. Similarly for the reverse side where the flipbacks remain intact with just the occasional very light laminate crease, and some general storage/handling light surface marks see photo with just the hint of some very minor fraying on the reverse side opening edge. Still highly presentable and still fully functional, and difficult to believe that this sleeve and record are actually 55 years of age Overall excellent EX stereo sound quality with no sticks, skips, repeats, clicks, or distortion and any background crackle is at an absolute minimum and only occasional ie just some very faint and non-intrusive crackle during a few of the intermissions. Every track remains a great listen - this is underrated, under the radar, almost forgotten psych at it s very best. Such an impressive LP Comes with very good plus VG condition original and correctly dated poly-lined PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS inner sleeve with no side splits, no edge fraying, minimal age discolouration towards, and just some very minor creasing towards the corners. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original.
Such an underrated psych gem, only now receiving the praise that the quality of each track deserves.
