Condition:
Vinyl: VERY GOOD +
Visually the vinyl is glossy and clean. Only very light paper scuffs can be seen on the surface. The labels are without writing and have minimal spindle wear. VERY GOOD+. It plays very nicely, quiet lead-ins to both sides and virtually silent between tracks. There are no pops, skips or jumps. A fantastic listening experience. EXCELLENT.
Sleeve: VERY GOOD +
The sleeve looks great. The front retains a glossy finish with bright colours. The rear is slightly discoloured at the opening, top and bottom edges but much cleaner than most overall. There is no sign of ring wear, fully readable spine with just mild wear from laminate rippling, top and bottom edge without wear, and corners with just mild wear.
Inner Sleeve: VERY GOOD+
The original polythene lined, die cut Decca inner sleeve looks great. It is without staining, just subtle discolouration to the edge and shows only minimal creasing. Also included in the sale is an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record.
