THE BOX
THE BOX IS IN EXCELLENT- CONDITION. THERE IS SOME WEAR TO THE FRONT PHOTO AND ALSO TO EDGES AND CORNERS.
THE BOOKLET
THE 20-PAGE BOOKLET, WHICH INCLUDES PHOTOS, NOTES AND LIBRETTO, IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS EXTENSIVE STAINING TO THE BACK COVER AND LESS SO TO THE FRONT. OTHERWISE THERE ARE JUST LIGHT HANDLING MARKS TO THE PAGES.
THE INNER SLEEVES
THE ORIGINAL POLY-LINED “FFSS” STEREO DECCA INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH JUST SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH VISIBLE MARKS, SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS. I HAVE PLAYED BOTH RECORDS AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS DETERIORATED WITH SOME BACKGROUND INTERFERENCE FROM TIME TO TIME. THERE ARE ALSO SOME CLICKS AND POPS AT TIMES DURING EACH SIDE. THE RECORDS DID NOT STICK OR JUMP ON MY EQUIPMENT. FOR LONG PASSAGES THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT.
THE LABELS
THE GROOVED BLACK & SILVER DECCA LABELS WITH THE WIDE BAND ARE ALL IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO SPINDLE MARKS.
