Disclaimer: Visually inspected under strong light only; record has not been audio-tested.
• Labels: Clean black and silver Fontana mono labels. Faint spindle marks present around the centre hole, but printing remains crisp, bold, and fully legible without writing or tears.
• Outer Sleeve: Front laminated flipback sleeve with original gloss. Shows moderate shelf wear, light edge wear, and corner softening. There is noticeable sticker residue to the laminate at the top right corner near the logo, along with a small tear/wear patch at the top edge. The unlaminated rear panel shows light handling marks, minor discolouration, and faint ring wear along the top edge, but all text remains fully readable.
• Inner Sleeve: Period-correct paper inner sleeve printed with handling instructions ("Important... Take Good Care of Your Microgroove Records"). Shows creasing, light handling wear, faint discolouration, and light numerical writing ("567") in ink at the top corner, but no significant seam splits.
