Mono, Garrod & Lofthouse SleeveGRADING
SLEEVE: M- (Mint Minus)
Easily the most stunning sleeve I've seen for this release, especially for one that is over 60 years old! The laminated triple flip-back sleeve remains shiny and smooth with no creasing. As the pictures show the all-important corners are in amazing condition with only VERY slight rubbing on a couple of the corners with the rest sharp. The back of the sleeve is even more impressive, showing it to be snow-white with no signs of foxing or dirt anywhere. This vinyl and sleeve is coming from a collector who kept it in his vault and never played it once since release and as you can see the results are abundant.
EMITEX INNER: INCLUDED
Very nice original Emitex inner sleeve included with this. .
RECORD: M-/NM+
As mentioned under the sleeve description the record is unplayed and will remain so. For that reason I have not play-tested it but if the buyer would like me to I can. The vinyl looks utterly beautiful, shiny and clean. Side 2 appears flawless in daylight with faint hairlines and sleeve withdrawal lines only visible under direct spotlight. Side 1 has a couple light visible marks which are pictured, but as previously mentioned the vinyl is unplayed.
The spindle has only ever seen my Loricraft cleaner. The " K T " tax codes are gorgeously clear, Side 1 is flawless and Side 2 has a very small, minor mark near the perimiter of the hole but again it's so minor that unless you zoom in as I've done in the picture you'll barely notice it.
As mentioned earlier, I have cleaned this on my Loricraft in order to give it an accurate description but I will also ultrasonic clean it on my Degritter to make sure any dust/dirt that sat on the vinyl for over 60 years is blasted out as effectively as possible! So for this purchase you'll get a 60 year old unplayed, mint- condition sleeve, and mint- condition ultrasonically Degritter cleaned and Loricraft vacuum'd beautiful first press A Hard Day's Night! Whoever wins this will be very, very happy with it.
