LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels with just a few light spindles
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT++
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen with no major markings, just some brush marks - these have no audio significance
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Decca are renowned for their superb mastering but this an exceptional example, even by their high standards. The sound quality is sensational with an in-the-room immediacy and presence which was an absolutely joy to hear and my play-check at loud volume found practically nothing to fault - just one or two (literally) light spots of surface (incredibly minor) - sounds absolutely stunning
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
Lovely example - the front laminated surface retains its deep glossy sheen and the back is remarkably clean - just some light shop creases to the spine but all text is clear and bold
INNNER SLEEVE: MINT
Practically untouched - clean, fresh and remarkably white - hardly ever seen the light of day
