LABELS:..

The 1st Issue labels are both found clean, I have clearly played the record but always with care. The lack of wear around the spindle hole reflects how little the record has been played.

EXCELLENT +

VINYL:..

Both surfaces visually have retained their original shine. Viewed under normal daylight conditions little can be found on the surfaces. Spot lamp reveals some extremely fine sleeve removal wisps here and there. There are no visible hairlines or pressing defects to affect audio quality. The vinyl is very flat when checked on turning turntable.

EXCELLENT +

SLEEVE CONDITION:..

The sleeve has some light storage wear to the bottom and slight loss of print to areas of spine. Opening edges are free of fraying card and still have straight cut edge to both sides. The surfaces are free of dents and scratch marks, and clear of writing both inside and out. The inside/outside are both very clean and retain the printing blush. Excellent
