THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS GENERAL WEAR AND THERE IS SOME DISCOLOURATION AND TANNING TO THE REAR. THERE ARE NO TEARS. THERE ARE SOME CREASES & WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT FEATHERING AT THE OPENING BUT OTHERWISE THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE STILL IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE TEXT ON THE ‘PINCHED’ SPINE IS STILL LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY GOOD++ CONDITION  AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT AND I ONLY NOTED SOME LIGHT & OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE BETWEEN SOME OF THE TRACKS.

THE LABELS

THE GROOVED RED & SILVER LABELS, WITH THE UN-BOXED DECCA LOGOS AND “FFRR” EAR LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH PLENTY OF LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS.
