Clean, unmarked and factory-fresh labels with no spindle traces of signs of play
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Again, practically unmarked and like-new with just very fine wish hairlines visible under bright light - of no audio consequence
VINYL Audio: MINT
Decca are renowned for their superb mastering but this an exceptional example, even by their high standards. The sound quality is stunning with an in-the-room immediacy and presence which was an absolutely joy to hear and my play-check at loud volume revealed nothing to fault the sound performance - plays beautifully and flawlessly throughout
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The edges and spine - where all text is clear and bold - show practically no wear at all and are crisp, sharp and square.
The front laminated surface retains its deep glossy sheen with just a little rubbing from storage.
The (unlaminated) back has some light marks (please see photos) but is otherwise in fine shape
INNNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Practically untouched. Clean and unmarked with no seam splits - just some light creasing which no doubt happened when the record was inserted into the sleeve at the factory
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
