The stamper has light wear, but still has its original gloss(see photos). The disc is in vg+ condition, It also comes in the original pressing plant sleeve, which has printed and hand written notations(most likely by Paul King), co-owner of Drexel Records. The sleeve has wear, but still in good condition. The stamper is rare and is/may be the only 78 metal disc containing this unreleased alternate introduction.
