Cover: Laminated Garrod & Lofthouse cover with the misaligned Apple logo on the rear of the cover. Excellent condition - see photos.
Records: Play tested all the way through. Heavy duty 1st pressing UK vinyl. Looks VG and plays VG. No skips or jumps on my system. There is some crackle in the intro and outro, between tracks and quieter moments but nothing that interferes significantly with the overall enjoyment of the music. The vinyl retains a quite a nice sheen. While there are some lightish marks but these seem to have minimal impact on playback. Let's not forget that this LP is now 51 years old, so it will not be perfect. It is in used but not abused condition. When I played it there was a lot of fluff on the needle, so it may need a couple of plays to clean out the grooves. Would benefit from a light clean to bring up to its best as it had not been played for around 35 years before being play tested.
Inner Sleeve: Original white 'Apple Recordings' inner sleeve in Excellent condition - see photos.
Labels: Excellent+. Earliest dark green Apple 1st UK pressing labels without 'Her Majesty' at the end of the last track on Side 2.
