COVER ::  FRONT LAMINATED ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS STEREO, PRINTED AND MADE BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE LTD, AND IN CLEAN, SOLID CONDITION, WITH NO LAMINATE LIFT, JUST SOME SMALL LAMINATE CREASE LINES AROUND THE EDGES. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE IN LOVELY CONDITION, WITH JUST A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE A VERY NICE, CLEAN AND SOLID  :: EX/EX- .   

VINYL  ::  THE VINYL PLAYS VERY WELL, WITH NO STICKS, SKIPS, JUMPS, CRACKLE, POPS OR CLICKS, AND DUE TO HOW COLLECTABLE THIS VINYL IS I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION .....

SIDE 1  ::  TRACK 1 :: JUST ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE .

 TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

 TRACK 3 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

 TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

SIDE 2  ::  TRACK 1 :: HAS SIX VERY FAINT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START ON THE QUIET INTRO, AND ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK A BIT FURTHER ON.

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION .

TRACK 3 ::  ONE SINGLE FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END .

TRACK 4 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION, JUST THREE FAINT TICKS IN THE RUN OFF .

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, STILL WITH A LOVELY SHINE, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, SOME SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF LONGER ONES ON SIDE 1, WHICH JUST HAVE MORE OF A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL SLIGHTLY MORE NOTICEABLE HAIRLINE AT THE START OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2 WHERE THOSE FAINT TICKS CAN BE HEARD AS MENTIONED ABOVE, AND HONESTLY NOTHING INTRUSIVE, AND NOTHING TO SPOIL YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE OF THIS RARE FANTASTIC VINYL !!!!

SO WITH SUPERB AUDIO AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO  ::  EX/EX+ .

LABELS  ::  NICE AND CLEAN, JUST SOME SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE, AND A 'FACTORY SAMPLE, NOT FOR SALE' STICKER ON LABEL 1  ::  EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL INNER :: NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, JUST SOME VERY LIGHT AGEING, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL  ::  VG+ . 

VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND, AND WITH SUPERB AUDIO, AND FULLY COMPLETE, AND PRESSED OFF THE FIRST MOTHER WITH THE FIRST STAMPERS, NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, SO CERTAINLY ONE NOT TO MISS !!!!  THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE .

TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
