The original postcard , no writing, clean , glossy and shiny, excellent 

The labels are very clean , no writing/marks, the faintest of spindle wear in the very centre each side

The Listening Experience is good - It looks great and plays with only very occasional faint crackle the odd light pop, perceptible in some quiet bits,as you'd expect, no skips or sticks and sounds really good (watch and listen to the clip) and view all the photos...
