THE PARLOPHONE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. LABELS ARE FREE FROM WRITING, LABLES APPER TO HAVE JUST ONE SPINDLE MARK PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE AND IT HAS TO BE STRESSED THA THESE ARE ONLY VISIBLE WHEN LABELS ARE ANGLED UNDER A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT...EVEN THEN THEY ARE HARD TO DETECT. . LABELS CARRY "THE GRAMMPHONE CO" RIM TEXT AND "SOLD IN UK".... SIDE ONE HAS THE UNIQUE "FACTORY SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE" STICKER.
THE GLOSSY MIRROR LIKE VINYL IS TRULY SUPERB WITH JUST VERY LIGHT, MINIMAL AND WISPY SURFACE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE, THESE WILL HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE VINYL BEEN REMOVED FROM ITS SLEEVE RATHER THAN THROUGH PLAY AS IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS CANT HAVE BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING..... VISUALLY THIS LOOKS VERY VERY APPEALING AND HAS A "LIKE NEW" APPEARENCE.
AUDIO IS FLAWLESS........ RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND TRACK GROOVES ARE SILENT. THE STEREO SOUND IS CLEAR AND CRISP THROUGHOUT.
THE ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IS SUPERB WITH JUST LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING. IT IS STILL VERY WHITE AND STILL VERY CRISP.
THE OUTER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE "PATENTS PENDING" LAMINATED SLEEVE, WHICH CARRIES THE 1ST PRESSING OUTLINED "STEREO" IS STUNNING GIVEN ITS AGE. IT DISPLAYS THE ODD MINOR LIGHT CREAS TO FRONT BUT FAR LESS THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED AND SOME LIGH TCORNER "BUMPS" (PROBABLY CAUSED THROUGH STORAGE). THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL STRAIGHT AND TRUE.THE REAR IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND STILL VERY WHITE WITH JUST VERY MINOR HANDLING MARKS (FAR LESS TAHN WOULD BE EXPECTED), ALL THE SEAMS LIE PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO LIFTING. THE SLEEVE IS INTACT, THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY RIDGID AND ALL WORDING IS STILL CRISP AND READABLE.
OVERALL THIS REALLY IS A TRULY FABULOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE STEREO FACTORY SAMPLE WHICH OFFERS NEAR MINT LABELS/VINYL AND MINT AUDIO. COPIES OF THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY DO NOT SURFACE FOR SALE THAT OFTEN AND THIS IS CERTAINLY ONE NOT TO BE MISSED AS I DOUBT THIS WOULD EVER NEED UPGRADING!!!!!!!
