THE BLACK AND GOLD LABELS WHICH FEATURE "DICK JAMES" CREDITS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS STRONG AND VIBRANT LABELS WITH NEAR PERFECT GOLD LETTERING (THERE MAYBE A HINT OF VERY VERY LIGHT "RUBBING" IN PLACES AND WHEN ANGLED IT IS POSSIBLY TO DETECT SOME MINOR HANDLING AND "AGE" MARKS) BOTH LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY FADING.

THE HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS SUPERB, THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED BUT IT HAS CLEALRY ONLY RECEIVED VERY CAREFUL PLAYS, THIS SUPERB VINYL MAINTAINS ITS ORIGINAL DEEP GLOSS AND CLOSE AND INDEPTH INSPECTION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS THE ODD VERY LIGHT AND INSIGNIFICANT SURFACE MARK. THE VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NEEDLE LIFT WHEN PLAYED. THE PLAYING SURFACE IS FREE FROM ANY "RUBBING" OR DULLING.

AUDIO IS FLAWLESS.... ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELF REVEALS A MINT AND PERFECT PERFORMANCE. THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH COMPLETELY WITH AN UNRIVALLED AND UNITERRUPTED CLARITY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION PRESENT AT ANY POINT AND THE STEREO SOUND IS STRONG, CLEAR AND CRISP.... A TRUE PLEASURE TO EXPERIENCE.

THE CORRECT EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT AND IS SUPERB. IT DOES SHOW THE INEVITABLE LIGHT CREASES CAUSED BY THE VINYL SITTING IN THE INNER OVER THE YEARS BUT THIS IS NOTHING MAJOR. THERE NO HANDLING MARKS AND THE INNER IS CRISP, INTACT AND STILL ITS BRIGHT WHITE COLOUR.

THE OUTER AND ORIGINAL EARLY E.J DAY "GOLD" SLEEVE IS SIMPLY A SUPERB EXAMPLE. FEATURING THE CORRECT LARGE "MONO" LOGO AND OFFERING A VIBRANT AND EXTREMLEY GLOSSY FRONT LAMINATED PANEL WHICH DISPLAYS JUST LIGHT BUT MINIMAL EDGE WRINKLES BUT NO ACTUAL CREASES. THE OPENING EDGE SHOWS MINIMAL SIGNS OF HANDLING AND IS STILL PREFECTLY STRAIGHT. THERE ARE THE INEVITABLE CORNER BUMPS PRESENT, THE ONLY ONES OF ANY SIGNIFICANCE ARE THE BOTTOM CORNERS AND THESE WOULD ONLY BE CONSIDERED MINOR. THE FRONT WHICH CARRIES THE CORRECTLY POSITIONED "ANGUS MCBEAN" CREDIT IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH STRONG BOLD LETTERING AND VIBRANT COLOURING. THERE IS ABSOLUTLEY NO EDGE WEAR EVIDENT TO ANY SIDE. THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS EXTREMLEY CLEAN AND BRIGHT AND FEATURES JUST THE ODD HANDLING MARK (FAR LESS THAN WOULD NORMALLY BE ACCEPTABLE). ALL THREE FLIPBACKS ARE INTACT WITH JUST THE ODD LIGHT CREASE AND THERE IS JUST THE FAINTEST HINT OF DISCOLOURATION TO THE OPENING EDGE. THE SPINE IS PERFECT AND RIGID WITH NO CREASES OR WEAR AND ALL WORDING IS READABLE. THE SLEEVE OVERALL IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN WITH BRIGHT DEEP COLOURS AND ALL LETTERING IS PERFECT. THE SLEEVE IS OF COURSE FREE FROM WRITING AND IT TOTALLY INTACT AND STILL CARRIES ITS ORIGINAL "BARKERS OF ALBION" SHOP STICKER .

OVERALL A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY COLLECTABLE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER UK FIRST ISSUE BLACK AND GOLD MONO.
