The Vinyl
The first thing to note is that this vinyls labels look like it has barely ever been played more than a handful of times, amaizingly there is barely a handful of spider marks on the labels . On initial inspection the vinyl looks superbe, importantly this is the original thick ,heavy and chunky slab of vinyl. Any marks that could possibly be seen in strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal scuffs and one or two small light scratches only.
The audio is graded as at least excellent on my systems, stunning cristal clear audio throughout.
The Cover
The 1st issue E.Day & co London printed flipback cover is aawesome with just very , very minimal creases\storageware This is extreemely clean for a 35 year old album (there is a small name from the previous owner written on the rear top) this cover is graded at least excellent .
Very rare to find early 1963 1st UK pressing 47 years old!
