The vinyl retains excellent sheen - close inspection under a bright light shows there are some visible marks, mainly hairlines and sleeve removal marks but also one or two more significant mark as well. Playback is graded at a strong EXCELLENT MINUS with only some minor surface noise in places but really only audible in the quietest parts and between tracks.
The ORANGE RCA VICTOR record labels are also graded EXCELLENT  - little visible spindle wear.

The quality card FRONT LAMINATED FULLY PICTURE sleeve printed by CLOUT & BAKER and featuring artwork by TOM ADAMS is easily graded EXCELLENT PLUS with very little wear at all - perhaps just some faint ringwear to the black card back - but overall it still remains very strong.


SHIPPING All Lps are packed carefully and shipped using purpose made new corrugated card RECORD MAILERS ( not thin card, single sleeve 'envelopes' etc ) and we take care to make sure that the vinyl and inner sleeve are removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit.
