LP in a very good cover tending towards excellent, the smallest defect being exagerated because of the vulnerable glossy silver finish, not significantly impressed or defaced, just a little rubbed and creased most particularly down the front of the opening edge; generally very presentable, the front silver the rear white bearing English text, illustration of the composer and including the direction "This recording should be played at full volume and listened to in darkness".

The corners only slightly rubbed and the long edges and spine near perfect. With an undamaged slightly age-toned plain paper inner sleeve.

 

The disc is generally excellent, with an even high gloss sheen with no scratches or handling marks of any major significance, although not overplayed it has been handled and with feint paper scuffs and handling marks.  Generally the sound through both sides is excellent with no extraneous noise apart from occasional feint dust crackle audible in the soft passages, but with a good crisp stereo presence. With perfect undamaged labels and no spindle marks. The MATRIX NUMBERS and stampers as above.  

Payment is preferred by PayPal.
