GRADING (also refer photos)

Record:

visual: beautiful glossy sheen—numerous mainly superficial hairlines + some light surface scuffs (nothing deep or anything to be concerned about) and a very mild haze which can only be seen closer to the run-off groove (side 1: VG- / side 2: G+) (seen under strong light).  IMPOSSIBLY RARE IN ANY CONDITION - GOOD LUCK TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER!

audible: VG++ PUNCHY and VIBRANT SOUND despite some insignificant underlying surface noise.  DEFINITELY NO JUMPS OR SKIPS - A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

labels: LARGE CENTRE + A-LABEL PROMO (NOT FOR SALE).

sleeve: original UK “Fontana”.
