Single was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as NM/EX+ with the A-side scored a 98 (it sound so good on such a wide 45 cut that I played the track twice in a row) and the B-side as a 95 relative to a bit of surface noise at the start of B1. The excellent rating is relative to very minor surface marks however is as close to being NM as could possibly be. 
The sleeve shows a some surface discoloration areas and a couple of stain flecks with light creasing within the bottom area most noticeably within the bottom right area where there is also a bump which I have attempted to capture in the pictures. The sleeve is a solid 89 and well within the excellent rating; it's certainly better than VG+ but more like EX-.

Single will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap.  If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
