Truly excellent EX condition vinyl - flat and retaining it s original jet black lacquered sheen. In normal daylight each side of the vinyl comes across as unmarked and it is only with close scrutiny under a bright light that it is possible to detect just the odd random paper scuff line on each side along with a couple of very wispy hairlines on side 1, including a 2cm slightly more visible wispy hairline towards the beginning of side 1 - you will still have to look hard and hold the record at the right angle in the right light to see it. Each is obviously surface only, non-feelable and purely superficial. The labels are similarly impressive with all label text remaining perfectly intact - there are just 2 or 3 very small and extremely faint spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each side. Clearly, this is a record that has been well looked after and only sparingly played. Very good plus VG condition front-side laminated Garrod Lofthouse sleeve with firm unscuffed edges including the spine where all spine text remains nicely intact. The opening edges also remain firm with no fraying and the colours, art work, photos and sleeve text all remain vibrant with clear definition. The blemishes each very minor are a 5cm diagonal surface laminate crinkle towards the top right corner on the front side, some very minor compression on the bottom corners and minimal rubbing on each , eight non-obvious 1cm laminate surface crinkles adjacent and perpendicular to the spine, and on the reverse side some very minor storage rubbing on the in the middle of the inside edge of the top flipback see photo . This outer sleeve remains fully functional and eminently presentable, a solid very good plus and bordering on excellent . Terrific excellent plus EX stereo sound quality with no sticks, skips, repeats, clicks, distortion or background interference - hard to fault in fact, with each and every track sounding great and crystal clear throughout. Another one of those under the radar early 70 s rock gems with every track a great listen. Comes with original plain white MADE IN ENGLAND inner sleeve with no side splits or edge fraying, just some minor age discolouration and mild creasing in two corners. Note that I always ship the vinyl in a new plain white inner sleeve in order to protect the original.
Rare, sought after, and every track standing the test of time and a great listen throughout.
