Buy with complete confidence. For your total peace of mind I play the record throughout on high end equipment and give as much details as I can, in addition to a professional clean using a VPI MW-1 Cyclone RCM vacuum record cleaner and when shipping the disc/s are removed from the sleeve and packaged in custom mailers with card stiffeners for added protection. Purchased by the original and sole owner and I will be posting for auction others records in similar well looked after condition over the coming weeks, this example has received what appears to be only minimal careful play since new. Housed in their fully laminated top opening gatefold bi fold laminated numbered sleeve with the small ‘stereo’ designation to rear panel, and bears the 2nd variation dark green Apple labels with ‘An EMI Recording’ and ‘sold in the UK…’ to each label is all correct for this well looked after original stereo pressing and includes the collage folded poster, the 4 head shot photos are not present. Cat No PCS 7067/7068 Matrix No YEX 709-1/710-1/711-1/712-1 Stampers 6 OA/A 14/31R/1 04 CONDITION: Vinyl play - EX Very enjoyable listen through, clean and clear play with the odd audible light click, with light crackle only audible to the quieter periods of play and in between tracks which produces near silence and as stated from the play and visual close scrutiny it appears the records have only received minimal careful play from new. Vinyl visual - EX Retains all of the original deep gloss sheen to all sides with only the odd faint wispy sleeve removal and needle mark, no major scratches or blemishes with no warping, further signifying only careful play received. Labels - EX The dark green Apple labels remain clean wearing only a few light spindle trail marks to each visible only upon closer scrutiny, side 3 text appears fainter than the others but this appears to be a fault from the initial pressing, apart from this all the label text remains clean and sharp Inner sleeve - EX/VG Original and correct Matt black single die cut black paper inner sleeves one is near pristine with no damage the other has a 3 cm seam split to one side with more visible creasing. Sleeve - EX Fully laminated numbered sleeve, no damage to laminate bears just light ageing and faint disc wear to front and reverse panels, edges remain sharp with only minor bumpwear to corners, the odd mark to the outer panels, internal panels remain near pristine with both flip backs remaining intact and adhered, again all points to a well cared for sleeve that has been stored correctly. Poster - VG The original and correct collage/lyric poster has a single 5cm seam split to one of the outer folds and various small foxing and age spots with general ageing and light creasing, no pin holes or signs of hanging and fully intact. Overall again a well looked after example in common with the other records from this owner and would make a worthy addition to your collection. Any questions please let me know.
