THE SLEEVE
THE STRIKING FRONT- LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND SIGNS OF HANDLING. THERE IS MINOR LOSS OF LAMINATION TO THE TWO BOTTOM CORNERS WHERE THERE IS SOME BRUISING AND CREASING. THE EDGES, INCLUDING THE SPINE ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT WITH MINIMAL RUBBING TO THREE OF THE CORNERS. THE REAR HAS TWO LARGE SEMI-CIRCULAR INDENTED FLIP-BACKS. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE REAR - JUST SOME LIGHT TANNING COMMENSUARET WITH THE AGE OF THIS SUPERLATIVE RECORDING. THERE ARE NO INSCRIPTIONS AND NO TEARS. THERE ARE NO REPAIRS.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY, WHEN INSPECTED UNDER BRIGHT HALOGEN LIGHT, THE EXTREMELY HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND I CAN ONLY SEE SOME VERY SLIGHT MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THE RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY SUPERB THROUGHOUT. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO MAJOR FLAWS - BOTH SIDES PLAYED STRAIGHT THROUGH WITH ONLY THE MOST MINIMAL AND OCCASIONAL SURFACE INTERFERENCE. A BEAUTIFUL SOUNDING RECORD.
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE DECCA LABELS, WITH SILVER TEXT AND LARGE DECCA & EAR LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH AT MOST A COUPLE OF TINY SPINDLE MARKS OVER THE TWO LABELS.
