VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, AND STILL HOLDS A LOVELY SHINE. ONLY WHEN HELD UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ARE THERE SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A COUPLE OF FINE COSMETIC HAIRLINES ON BOTH SIDES. THERE ARE THREE THIN TINY TOTALLY COSMETIC SCUFF LINES, AND A SLIGHTLY FEELABLE HAIRLINE ACROSS THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 2. I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS IS VERY SLIGHT AND HAS NOT EFFECTED THE GROOVES IN ANY WAY, AND PLAYS WITHOUT FAULT THROUGH THE TRACK. THESE OLD PARLOPHONE PRESSES ARE ONE OF THE BEST VINYLS YOU CAN GET.
