RIMS WHERE REPLACED WITH THE NEW 'GRAMOPHONE' RIMS.
THE 60 YEAR OLD VINYL RECORD HAS BEEN PLAY TESTED, GRADED AS VERY GOOD, IT HAS BEEN PRO-CLEANED AND VACUUMED. A FEW LIGHT SCUFFS AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT FROM A RECORD OF THIS AGE, STILL THE AUDEO IS CLEAR WITH STRONG VOCALS, BASS AND ACOUSTICS, A NICE SOUNDING COPY TO ME. PERHAPS NOT FOR THE PERFECTIONIST WHO MIGHT PREFER THE SOUND OF A BRAND NEW VINYL WITH NO CHARACTER. INNER SLEEVE FROM TRACING-RICE-PAPER-LINED "USE EMITEX" DIE-CUT SLEEVE.
THE ALBUM SLEEVE HAS A GOOD SPINE CLEARLY READABLE, VERY LITTLE WARE AND STILL VERY WHITE. ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
OVERALL THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED AND ENJOYED, VERY GOOD FOR ANY COLLECTOR AND LISTENER. SHIPPED IN PROFESSIONAL EASY OPEN RECORD MAILER
