The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see picture) with NO wear, NO writing, and NO spindle marks. I BOUGHT THIS RECORD WHEN IT CAME OUT AND IT HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED AND THEN ONLY ON TOP QUALITY HI-FI EQUIPMENT. The vinyl is in SUPERB condition with NO scratches, NO scuff marks and NO signs of wear. THE RECORD STILL RETAINS EVERY BIT OF ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK! The record sounds as STUNNING as the visual! It plays with CRYSTAL CLEAR UNDISTORTED SOUND, NO sticking, NO groovewear, NO jumps, and NO crackle! There is the occasional “pop” (I counted 8 for the whole LP) which seems to be a feature of the pressing or caused by small specs of dust rather than wear or damage. The record plays SUPERBLY with ZERO DISTORTION! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way! Brilliant!!
The E. .J. Day textured cover is in OUTSTANDING condition! It has only VERY slight edge wear, MIMINAL wear to spine, MINIMAL creases, the cardboard is firm and strong. Some of the textured surface of the cover has rubbed away over the years, particularly on the back of the cover (see pictures) at the top and bottom, giving a moderately grainy effect in the places affected. There is ZERO ringwear, and NO writing. There is a small price sticker near the top right corner of the front cover (see picture). The opening edges are straight with only MINIMAL edge wear!
