Cover Condition

Disc Condition

Description

Nearly 52 years old & still kicking ...

Cover is generally very sound, just a bit of laminate peeling (see photos), corner & edge wear & some light creasing. Spine print is still perfectly legible. Opening edge on back of gatefold has some wear & waviness but not major, see last photo. Also has original inner & the back cover has the "inspection hole" for mono/stereo differentiation.

Disc has ZAL- 8598 and 8599 - W matrices and is in pretty good shape with just some hairlines & a few light marks. There is a persistent tick on the first track of side 1 which goes about 30 seconds into track 2 but fortunately the first track is basically a telephone conversation between two members of the band with a bit of music intro at the end. Side 2 has one place in the dead space between tracks 2 & 3 that seems to get stuck,not a major if you have a start/stop on your turntable as you can manually move the stylus forward, but just be aware of this. The last track on side 2 ends with the second bit of the telephone conversation which starts the album off on side 1 & again there is a bit of a tick on this - someone obviously didn't like phone calls on vnyl records!

Has been play-tested & apart from the items mentioned above is in very good shape with just some minor background noise here & there & the odd bit of crackle. Remember this is a half-century old & was probably handled by many long-haired stoned hippies !!

Will combine postage for multiple purchases, as a general rule I can get 3 single-sleeve albums in one mailer, obviously gatefold sleeves & double-albums will count as two items. If you have any problems with postage discounts at checkout please contact me before purchasing.
