Apologies but had to post these, got them today. Mono is mint, stereo would be apart from a long non feelable needle trail. Christmas has come early!

Both did not come with Emitex inners. Can someone enlighten me as to the correct ones for each?

Thanks yet again Henry. The vinyl on the mono is mint,unbelievable to be honest, with the stereo not far off. Even checked too see if the golds had been faked, they are that good!


Sleeve for the stereo is VG, has tape around the flipback but better than many I have seen. The mono sleeve was not a Gold one strangely enough, he's sending me a replacement although I do have the one I asked about the other night strangely enough!

That's great.

My gold mono looks rough but plays excellent, at around £90 I have no complaints!

AH.

well I'm a perfectionist but to be honest it's not actually a scratch just a needle trail, I'd have been a bit annoyed had it been a deep scratch. It would grade as NM if the trail had not been there but to be honest getting it in such good condition was a huge surprise.

Admiral, I'm one of these weird record collectors that has absolutely no intention of playing any of my collection so I'll never know how either of them sound!

That's a lovely pair.in my experience the stereo copies normally survive in better condition to the mono. I think it has something to do with most mono copies fell into the hands of teenage girls and with basic turntables while the stereo copies were played on higher quality equipment.so for me the mono would be the prize as its survival in mint condition is unusual.
Just my opinion.

I have always wondered how any of these survived in this condition after all, they were played to death on often poor quality equipment. Just delighted to have them. Unfortunately they will never see another turntable!
