The record has been Played and is graded as Excellent with detail as follows; 

Both sides have some very faint background (dust) which is probably capable of removal with professional cleaning. (I have not attempted to clean the surface as I do not have a sufficiently effective system for a record of this rarity)

Side 1; There are 4 consecutive faint TICs on track 5 on a barely visible pin-point mark and a single sound at the end of the track. There are a few sleeve marks, mainly on track 4 which are non-sounding.

Side 2; Track 1 has 2 very lights Pops, probably on dust, and 3 light sound on a very small production bubble. Track 3 has 2 light Pops. There are no other noises. Visually there is a faint non-sounding mark on track 1 and a couple of barely visible non-sounding surface marks that appear to removable with cleaning.

The laminated Garrod and Lofthouse flip-over seam jacket is graded as Excellent Plus. There is very slight open edge marking and the laminate is undamaged.
