Vinyl has litterally just been removed from the shrink it has lived in since 1979!!! On the black and white Jazz side there are 2 pressing imperfection lines (very common to the genuine pressing) so I have playtested it and it plays perfectly...it is exactly as it was when it was pressed.
Sleeve still has shrink sealed all over, just right hand edge is open, part of shrink is missing from back bottom right. Some wear to bottom corners and a small patch of wear inside shrink to bottom back edge (must have been during production), shrink has obviously tightened over the years and sleeve is no longer completely flat. These original picture discs never turn up...this one is 100% Genuine and was only opened TODAY to prove it authenticity...a massive rarity and investment.
