Vinyl is housed in a front laminated Garrod & Lofthouse 'Patents Pending' flipback picture cover with stereo sticker glued on top of mono catalogue number on upper right back.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyls and Labels)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl is superlustrous and has a very light degree of paper scuffing/sleeve wear - next to nothing. Side 1 label has a couple of faint spindlemarks in the imediate vicinity of centre hole - Side 2 less than a handful - slightly more scattered - this looks like a coupy played a very few times and then stored - easily graded near perfect.

Cover is in stunning condition - plain perfect except for a single opening wrinkle and and upper opening corner dent inducing a couple of corner wrinkles - otherwise straight seams, sharp spine edges and sharp corners - deep colours - an amazingly clean back with intact stereo sticker - graded near perfect.
