THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THEY DO DISPLAY SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS BUT THESE REALLY ARE MINIMAL AND VERY VERY LIGHT, THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR PRESENT. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND VIVID WITH NO BLEMISHES AND ARE UNSPOILT IN ANY WAY...SIDE TWO IS AN INCORRECT MONO LABEL.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB.......... DESPITE BEING PLAYED THE VINYL DISPLAYS JUST LIGHT BUT SUPERFICIAL SURFACE MARKS AND THE ODD NEEDLE MARK BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING SEVERE.. THE VINYL STILL RETAINS ITS GLOSSY SURFACE WITH NO DULLING OR OTHER IMPERFECTIONS AND LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
AUDIO IS STUNNING.... THERE IS SOME CRACKLE EVIDENT TO RUN IN/ OFF GROOVES AND THE ODD TRACK GROOVE BUT THE AUDIO ITSELF PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY WITH NO CLICKS, POPS OR JUMPS AND THE STEREO SOUND IS STRONG AND BOLD...... A JOY TO LISTEN TO.
THE ORIGINAL WHITE INNER IS NEAR MINT WITH VIRTUALLY NO SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING.
THE OUTER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE "PATENT PENDING" SLEEVE IS A TOP QUALITY EXAMPLE...THE FRONT DISPLAYS JUST ONE SMALL "THUMBNAIL" CREASE AND ONE VERY LIGHT EDGE WRINKLE. THERE ARE THE INEVITABLE CORNER BUMPS PRESENT BUT THESE REALLY ARE MINOR AND THERE IS A HINT OF EDGE WEAR EVIDENT, MORE FEELABLE THAN VISIBLE. THE FRONT IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND REATINS ITS ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS. THE REAR PANEL IS CLEAN AND IS A STRONG EXAMPLE AND IT HAS NOT SUFFERED THE USUAL "WHITENING" CAUSED THROUGH RUBBING. THE SEAMS LIE PERFECTLY FLAT . THE SPINE IS RIGID WITH SOME NO CREASES OR WEAR. ... A TRULY STUNNING EXAMPLE.
OVERALL A SUPERB, WELL LOOKED AFTER AND CAREFULLY PLAYED EXAMPLE OF THIS UK 1ST STEREO ISSUE WHICH CARRIES A VERY UNUSUAL AND NEVER SEEN LABEL ERROR.
