This is a first issue 'White Album' set complete with all it's components in top shape but the outstanding feature here, are the two vinyl's in truly magnificent condition, good enough to be considered as a final upgrade to any collection
*
The Vinyl
Visually: All four sides are in beautiful condition, displaying near immaculate, deep gloss surfaces - there are a few wispy lines/handling marks, really only evident in reflected light
Audio: Both discs play as new, with crystal clear, rich, stereo sound - as with any used vinyl there may be the odd dust pop but no skips or stalls
*
The Labels
Side 1 has the 'KJT' tax code embossed - side 2 carries the 'Racoon' text error - side 3 has a small manufacturing blemish, shown in the photo, above - no tax codes on second disc
*
The Cover
# 0536506 - top loader - stereo printed on back panel - better condition than most, with the inevitable creamy/beige toning - a strong example with no major faults, just a few bends and pressure lines - spine is in great shape, with a small section of split laminate in the centre but all text is totally legible and there is no browning or deterioration normally found on these covers
*
The Inner Sleeves
Original, matt black, single die cut - fabulous condition - no seam splits - two small tears around the hole, which have been taped internally - the other inner is perfect
*
The Lyrics Poster
Genuine 'Garrod & Lofthouse' original 'Lips' issue - top condition, no faults
*
Photos and Spacer
Original issues - near perfect - spacer is creased and age toned but no tears
(About the spacer: Because of the time factor involved in packing this album and it's contents, at the factory, EMI produced separate boxes containing the four photos, divided by a spacer sheet. These were sent to the retailer to put into the covers themselves. Some were simply put in with the photos, although they were meant to be thrown away)
