THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABELS ARE IN REALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. LABELS HAVE JUST VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY WRITING E.T.C..... LABELS DO NOT CARRY "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED" OR "SOLD IN UK" TEXT.
THE GLOSSY HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS AGAIN REALLY EXCELLENT, IT DOES DISPLAY A SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND THE ODD LIGHT SCUFF BUT IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT THESE ARE MINIMAL, THEY ARE NOT SEVERE, THEY ARE REALLY ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT AND NONE ARE FEELABLE..... VISUALLY THIS LOOKS VERT APPEALING..... THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND THERE IS NO NEEDLE LIFT WHEN PLAYED.
AUDIO IS SUPERB. THERE MAYBE A HINT OF CRACKLE TO RUN IN/OFF GROOVES BUT APART FROM THAT THE SOUND IS CLEAR AND CRISP. THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY SKIPS, POPS OR JUMPS.
THE ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT EMITEX INNER IS STUNNING WITH JUST VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING.... IT IS STILL ITS TRUE WHITE COLOUR AND QUITE CRISP. THE INNER IS FREE FROM ANY SPLITS E.T.C AND DISPLAYS NO BROWNING.
THE OUTER "E.J DAY" GOLD SLEEVE (WITH ANGUS MCBEAN CREDIT TO FARE RIGHT) IS EXCELLENT. IT DOES DISPLAY SOME CORNER BUMPS/WEAR BUT VERY VERY LITTLE CREASING, THERE IS SOME MINOR WEAR TO BTOOM EDGE.THE REAR HAS SOME LIGHT HANDLING MARKS AND THERE IS A HINT OF WEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM SEAMS. THE SLEEVE IS INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING E.T.C. THE SPINE IN STILL RIGID WITH NO WEAR..... STILL AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THIS FIRST ISSUE GOLS SLEEVE.
OVERALL STILL A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY RARE UK 3RD MONO PRESSING. THESE COPIES ARE NOW BECOMING INCREASINGLY HARDER TO FIND AND SOME CONSIDER THEM RARER THAN THE BLACK AND GOLD MONO.
