Condition:
Vinyl: Visual Very good+ condition. The Vinyl has a glossy sheen with just a few fine visible surface hairlines, but these are barely noticeable or feelable even under a light and in no way effects the sound or quality of play. Audio tested. The record plays through very well, in Very good condition, or a little better. I have test played both sides of this album and it has very decent audio quality, deep mono strong sound, with just occasional light pops/noise in quieter passages, separate clicks between some songs, no loud crackles, no sticks, no repeats, no skips/jumps. The album sits flat on the turntable, no warps. Let's keep in mind, that this is an used vinyl record, but well preserved record 60 years old, which is difficult and rare to find in such of this nice condition.
Labels: Very Good+ condition. Yellow Parlophone Type-6-1. Tax code KT, side 1. This record has clear labels in a sans-serif font. There are very light spindle marks around the center holes and some light rubbing of the holes, which makes me think this album has been well listened to. Overall the labels are in excellent condition, with no writing, marks or tears.
Album cover: Very good + condition. This pressing has a Rare front laminated sleeve made by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. London with "mid-sized" mono. All flip backs are solid. Tiny laminate creases at edges to front of sleeve. Back side is strong and clear. There are NO seam splits or Any writing. No inscriptions or stickers on the back cover.
