Housed in a slick-on-posterboard cover which is still encased within its original shrink.

CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
Bright & clean with no more than 1 or 2 faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Exceptionally clean & unworn playing surfaces where the only visible blemishes is a single light, non-feelable hairline running across 2/3rds of side 2.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
Clearly little played, all tracks are without any significant deterioration to the sound quality or any major faults. My playcheck picked up a little playwear on the final track on each side, but nothing more of significance.
Cover: NEAR MINT
A wonderfully preserved example which is clean & unworn throughout. All corners are unbumped and there are just two tiny 'pushes' to the rear opening edge. There is very light storagewear to the shrink but it is fully intact and open only along its opening edge. Both seams are fully intact and the spine is unworn. Both front & rear panel are clean & unworn having been protected by the shrink for the past 50 years.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
Clean & unworn with just a tiny stress to the lower seam.
