The original postcard , no writing, clean and shiny, a couple of corner creases - VG+

The labels are very clean and excellent, do have letters J and D written very faintly.

The vinyl has minimal sign of age, a few visible light hairlines, light scuffs, on close inspection... It looks good and plays with only very light crackle in some quiet bits,as you'd expect, no loud pops , no skips or sticks and sounds really good (watch and listen to the clip) and view photos...

I am Starting bidding sub £15, look at the chart in the last photo showing the recent sales of VG+/EX condition on discogs = £118-£214 ! - open to sensible offers...
