THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW OF THE TINIEST HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES OF THIS SUPERB RECORD AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT AND IF I AM GOING TO BE ULTRA CRITICAL WOULD SAY THAT I ONLY THE VERY SLIGHTEST & OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND INTERFERENCE.

THE GROOVED BLACK & SILVER DECCA LABELS WITH THE WIDE SILVER BAND ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SPINDLE MARKS AT ALL.
