THE SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL FRONT LAMINATED, PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH SOME WEAR, SOME SMALL WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE, SOME SMALL CREASES AND AREAS WHERE THE LAMINATE IS BUBBLING. THERE IS A SMALL AREA NEAR THE TOP EDGE WHERE THE LAMINATE IS MISSING. THE BACK IS A BIT DISCOLOURED WITH SOME MINOR STAINING. THERE IUS A 2-NAME INSCRIPTION ON THE BACK. THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR TEARS AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS STILL LEGIBLE.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH LOADS OF LIGHT MARKS, SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS. THE GOODS NEW IS THAT, HAVING PLAYED BOTH SIDES, I CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD WITH LIGHT SURFACE NOISES MAINLY DURING QUIETER TIMES AND I ALSO HEARD SOME OCCASIONAL TICKS AND CLICKS. THERE WAS NOTHING REALLY NASTY - THE LP PLAYED THROUGH BOTH SIDES. STILL A GREAT LISTEN!!
THE LABELS
THE GROOVED, RED & SILVER LABELS, WITH UN-BOXED DECCA LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH LOADS OF SPINDLE MARKS AND SOME MINOR SPINDLE WEAR. THERE IS A 2-LETTER INSCRIPTION ON THE SIDE ONE LABEL.
