Record condition: VG- still plenty of shine but has been well played with various large and small scuffs & marks

Intro from run out is noisy but the tracks themselves play very well with only the odd click-mainly on side 1-the background noise is apparent between tracks but not too evident otherwise.

We advise playing these old 60s discs with either an original 60s turntable (which tends ro have a heavier arm) or using a heavier setting on your more modern turntable-this should bring out more of the sound as the grooves are cut deeper than later vinyl pressings (particularly 80s and 90s pressings)

With original lined EMITEX inner die cut sleeve

Label: Parlophone (gold/black) some label wear & 2 x sticker marks-side 2
