7906 TM Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. picture sleeve, die-cut to the front. The circular display hole has a diamter measuring 272mm / 10 & 11/16ths inches. The image on the record lines up with the image detail on the front cover panel.
The record is housed inside its original soft-poly inner, which has a blue rectangle printed near the top corner.
CONDITION:
- the picture disc LP remains in MINT condition, genuinely unplayed
- the die-cut picture sleeve displays minor wear to its corners
- there is a minor crease near the front top left corner
- there is a minor crease at the front opening edge (3 o'clock position)
- there is a 1/2-inch/1.5cm/15mm split at the centre of the top seam

Please note: The audio reproduction quality of picture discs, especially of this vintage, is generally poor. The manufacturing process, which sandwiches layers of film, front & back images on special paper, and vinyl, using heat and pressure, often leads to warping. In 1979, when this picture disc was created, it was a novelty item. Today it should be considered a collectable artefact, and not an audiophile quality playback recording.
