Both surfaces are clean & bright, bearing just a few light scratches and paper hairlines directly beneath halogen light but no major marks or wear.

This superbly recorded track has received a moderate amount of play and there is some light background on the unaccompanied introduction, together with a hint of playwear on the rest of the track. Apart from a few light clicks on the introduction to 'The Saints' there are no further audible faults on either side.
