The audio is superb! There are quiet lead-ins to all sides and only mild static in between songs. All tracks play through with the punch and vigour that is noted of the heavy weight 1st press monaural recording. There are no obtrusive pops, no skips and no jumps. A great listen throughout.

The extremely rare sleeve looks great. All four sides are exceptionally clean and retain a deep-gloss finish. The embossed text is clean and distinct. The serial number is clear and bold. There is no sign of ring wear. The spine is fully readable but has some laminate lift. The top, bottom and opening edges are without wear. The corners are sharp displaying just mild softening.
