Labels are clean other than a name written on one side.
Vinyl has scuffs, hairlines, fingerprints and a couple of light scratches (VG). At the beginning of "Baby Please" during the music intro there is a quick light skip. But other than that both sides play through with the normal noise heard on a Sun record of this age.
Push marks can be seen on both sides.
