THE RED DECCA LABELS ARE IN TRULY STUNNING CONDITION. CLOSE INSPECTION REVEALS NO MORE THAN THREE OR FOUR VERY TINY SPINDLE TRAILS TO EITHER SIDE. THE DEEP RED LABELS FEATURE PERFECT SILVER LETTERING WITH NO RUBBING OR FADING AND THE LABELS ARE TOTALLY UNSPOILT IN ANY WAY.
THE GLOSSY MIRROR LIKE VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB. IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THIS PORTRAYS A MINT APPEARANCE AND ONLY CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A VERY STRONG LIGHT IS IT POSSIBLE TO DECT JUST MINOR. WISPY SURFACE MARKS WHICH ARE MINIMAL AND REALLY INSIGNIFICANT. THE VINYL WHICH HAS CLEARLY ONLY EVER RECEIVED A HANDFUL OF VERY VERY CAREFUL PLAYS LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING.
AUDIO IS FLAWLESS AND PERFECT THROUGHOUT.
THE ORIGINAL WHITE INNER IS PRESENT AND IS SUPERB,
THE OUTER FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS SUPERB. THE FRONT RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL HIGH GLOSS AND SHOWS JUST MINOR AND LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES BUT NO ACTUAL CREASES. THE COLOURS AND TEXT AND STILL BRIGHT AND PERFECT. THERE IS NO EDGE WEAR PRESENT. THE REAR SHOWS SOME LIGHT SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING BUT AGAIN IT IS UNFADED WITH UNSPOILT TEXT. THE SLEEVE IS COMPLETELY INTACT WITH A RIGID SPINE AND IS OF COURSE FREE FROM ANY WRITING.
OVERALL A TRULY STUNNING AND BARELY PLAYED EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY ELUSIVE ORIGINAL UK DECCA PRESSING.
