THE SLEEVE

THE FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE, WITH TWO REAR SCALLOPED FLIP-BACKS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR AND THERE IS SOME LIGHT TANNING TO THE WHITE AREAS ON THE BACK. THERE IS SOME MINOR RUBBING TO THE CORNERS AND ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. SOME OF THE LAMINATE SI BEGINNING TO LIFT AWAY. OTHERWISE THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE BLUE & WHITE POLY-LINED 'FFSS' INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR TANNING.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A HANDFUL OF VERY TINY MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS RARE RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT, WITH JUST SOME VERY LIGHT AND OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE. 

THE LABELS

THE BLACK & SILVER GROOVED DECCA LABELS, WITH WIDE SILVER ”FULL FREQUENCY STEREOPHONIC SOUND” BAND AND “ORIGINAL RECORDING BY THE DECCA RECORD CO. LTD” TEXT AROUND THE RIMS, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST ONE OR TWO TINY MARKS PER LABEL.
