All records are graded to the Record Collector Guidelines, with extra information added as required when play tested. Also all photos above are of the exact record you will receive if successful.

This record is in excellent condition. It has just a couple of very faint spindle marks and light rubbing visible on the labels. There are no scuffs, pen marks, stains or fading. There is some very slight 'mottling' faintly visible on side 1 but this is very light. The centres show little to no wear and are not at all loose or worn. Overall the wideband grooved black and silver Decca labels are in superb condition with no serious problems at all.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with nothing remotely serious visible normal light. There is a couple of incredibly light faint lines and a minor sleeve 'scuff' just about visible when angled but these are really minor. These are visible under bright light along with a few more light wispy lines but overall the vinyl surfaces are a certain grade of excellent. They have a vivid lustre and show only very minor signs of use.

I play tested the record and it played very well. It lays perfectly flat and upon playing there is virtually no movement noticeable in the record arm. The audio is of course free of skips, sticks or annoying ticks and is a strong grade of excellent overall. There is also no serious surface noise audible but due to some of the audio being near silent there is the odd light splutter or noise audible. I found side 2 to be better than side 1 but both are again a strong grade of excellent overall.

So overall a really enjoyable listen with audio that is a strong grade of EX in my opinion. It is not a CD however and is 59 years old. Due to this I have graded as EX to compensate for the odd light splutter or noise in the very quiet parts.

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has no major wear or rubbing to the edges or corners and there are no splits or weak areas anywhere. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks but there is a couple of areas of laminate peeling on the rear. The first and larger part is found near the rear left edge(see pics). The second and far smaller area is on the rear flipback, towards the bottom right corner. Other than the two areas of laminate peeling there is no major issues with just some very slight ring marks and a hint of discolouring in places. Overall the sleeve is strong and for its age is excellent with just the two areas of laminate peeling to let it down really. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original poly-lined blue stereo inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but some slight age related grubbiness to the inside. I will therefore send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure the record remains clean and fresh.

The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to ensure swift delivery.

I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. Also please check my eBay feedback for a positive history of record grading, A1 communication and quick delivery times.
