please note some of the mother and stamper marks are difficult to read being so small so may not be 100 per cent accurate. Although they were read in strong light through a magnifying glass.
all 4 labels are in excellent condition.with the 2 black original inners although they are worn at top edges and torn at the die cut centres.no poster or pictures included.this is how it was acquired.
This issue has numerous marks, scuffs scratches etc (observed in the strongest light) through use but plays all the way through with very good playing quality.Plays all the way through all 4 sides with some background noise, hiss and the occasional pop in places. There was no sticking or skipping during my playback.
Garrod and Lofthouse outer cover is complete with yellowing to the white as they generally do and light marks, creases.
Could be quite a rare example of this iconic album.all known issues aforementioned.
any questions please ask. I will do my best to help.
