Labels: Excellent
Both labels are clean and bright, with no marks and carry the "Sold in UK" and "The Gramophone Co" rims. There is a light collection of spindle trail marks (please see photo's).
Visual: Very good 
Both playing surfaces are clean and glossy, with several light surface marks and scuffs and harmless hairline scratches associated with regular handling (please see photo's).
Audio: Excellent 
Play-check detected a little vynil background in the quieter passages,  however, this in no way spoils the enjoyment of the album.  There are a few minor clicks, and pops, but no jumps, or any other significant audible issues on this historic disc.
Sleeve: Excellent 
Laminated sleeve has some corner and age wear,  and a small sticker on the back panel. Otherwise a worthy example with vibrant high gloss panels with all seams in good condition and no slits or pen marks.  The  spine Is readable, but has some age wear (Please see photo's).
All records are play-tested and graded in accordance with the UK Record Collectors Guide.
