THE BLACK AND YELLOW PARLOPHONE LABLES TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION . VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE JUST VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT, A FEW DO EXTEND BEYOND THE CENTRE HOLE BUT THEY ARE VERY LIGHT.THE LABELS CARRY "THE GRAMMOPHONE" CO RIM "AND SOLD IN UK" TEXT AND SIDE TWO HAS THE EMBOSSED KT TAX CODE. LABELS ARE SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND VIVID AND ALL WORDING IS PERFECT WITH NO FADING OR DULLING...SIDE ONE CARRIES THE "FACTORY SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE" STICKER.
THE GLOSSY VINYL IS TRULY STUNNING, DESPITE BEING PLAYED THE VINYL DISPLAYS JUST VERY LIGHT, WISPY BUT EXTREMELY MINIMAL SURFACE MARKS AND THESE ARE ONLY VISIBLE WHEN THE VINYL IS EXAMINED UNDER A STRONG LIGHT. THE VINYL LIES FLAT AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF WARPING.
AUDIO IS NEAR FLAWLESS...THERE IS SOME VERY MILD CRACKLE EVIDENT TO BOTH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND TO SOME OF THE TRACK GROOVES BUT NOTHING THAT SPOILS THE LISTENING ENJOYMENT. THE VINYL OTHERWISE PLAYS THROUGH CLEARLY AND WITH NO POPS, SKIPS OR JUMPS.
THE ORIGINAL WHITE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" INNER IS VERY GOOD. IT IS STILL INTACT AND FREE FROM WRITING BUT DOES SHOW SOME "YELLOWING" DUE TO AGEING .
THE "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" LAMINATED SLEEVE IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE .DESIGNED BY KLAUS VOORMAN, THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS JUST THE ODD VERY TINY EDGE WRINKLE AND TWO OR THREE VERY LIGHT "THUMBNAIL" TYPE CREASES. THE FRONT PANEL IS STILL ITS TRUE BRIGHT WHITE COLOUR WITH JUST A HINT OF YELLOWING TO THE EDGES BUT THIS REALLY IS MINMAL, THE FRONT HAS RETAINED ITS DEEP AND VIBRANT SHEEN. THERE IS NO EDGE WEAR PRESENT AND JUST MILD CORNER BUMPS ARE VISIBLE.THE REAR IS FREE FROM THE USUAL RUBBING ,FADING OR WHITENING WHICH IS VERY COMMON ON THIS SLEEVE AND ALL THE SEAMS ARE INTACT. THE SPINE IS STILL PERFECTLY RIDGID. THE SLEEVE CARRIES THE CORRECT SMALL "MONO" LOGO.
OVERALL A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS ORIGINAL AND VERY RARE UK MONO FACTORY SAMPLE PRESSING.
