Vinyl: Play tested. Still retains quite a nice sheen despite having been played a lot in the past. Side one looks VG and Side 2 looks Good+ with some non-feelable marks/scratches. Both sides play through with no skips/jumps but have hiss & crackle - which is more noticeable on the run-in, between tracks and in quieter parts. An average condition record with a very reasonable starting price for such a rarity.
