THE VERY DARK GREEN APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT REVEALS  VERY LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT TO ALL SIDES.THE LABELS ARE SPOTLESSY CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE. BOTH SIDES ARE EXTREMELY BRIGHT WITH NO FLAWS WHATSOEVER.

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB.. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS JUST VERY VERY LIGHT AND WISPY SURFACE MARKS AND THE ODD  LIGHT NEEDLE MARK..IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT NONE ARE SEVERE OR FEELABLE AND NONE AFFECT THE AUDIO.THE BRIGHT VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND NO NEEDLE LIFT WHEN PLAYED. THE VINYL HAS SUFFERED NO DULLING TO ITS ORIGINAL SHINY SURFACE AND IS COMPLETELY UNBLEMISHED.

AUDIO IS SUPERB... ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELF REVEALS A NEAR PERFECT AND UNINTERRUPTED PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT, THERE IS SOME MILD STATIC CRACKLE EVIDENT TO ALL RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND THE ODD TRACK GROOVE &  QUIETER TRACKS BUT NONE OF THIS INTERFERES WITH THE OTHERWISE PERFECT SOUND,  THE MONO AUDIO IS STRONG AND CLEAR.
