CONDITION
The Vinyl MINT AS NEW UNPLAYED
On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks awesome I can't see a SINGLE blemish. Any marks that could possibly be seen under a strong would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve! BUT IN ALL HONESTY I COULD NOT SEE A SINGLE MARK AT ALL !!! Importantly There is (no) needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all EITHER !!!!!
IM CONFIDENT THAT MY TEST PLAY WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED IN 51 YEARS
