Condition:
* Vinyl: Excellent condition. Visually rated definitely Excellent. A few minimal superficial hairlines visible in bright light. No surface marks or scratches. The record has retained its lovely original shine and the vinyl lays flat on the turntable.
(Audio - Playback tested on both sides): I have listened to both sides of this album and there are no skips, sticking or distortion. Vinyl Plays Excellent! Minimal light clicks and pops in a few quiet spots, typical of a vinyl record, over 55 years old. No loud noises, no loud clicks or loud pops.
Cover: Very good +, near EX condition. Album have full laminated cover without flaps on the back side. Cover was printed by Garrod & Lofthouse International Ltd. Front and back with very good surface gloss retained. Minimal aging is visible, but nothing detracts from the overall appearance. The most noticeable wear on the front and back of the cover is a few light creases in the laminated surface. There are a handful of very small laminate creases on both sides, scattered around the edges. The spine is nice, clear, in excellent condition, fully legible. There is barely noticeable outer ring light trace on the back. The colors are clear and vibrant, the spine is in excellent condition, fully legible.

Label Side 1 has small 33 1/3 moved to the left side. The label Side 2 has not a credit to Her Majesty. As far as I can see, there are not many slight spindle marks around the center holes, visible in bright light, which leads me to believe that this album has not been played multiple times, stored very carefully and is preserved in excellent condition.Inner sleeve: near Excellent condition! Original standard EMI white plain inner sleeve with “PATENTS APPLIED FOR” on the bottom left side and “MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN” on the right side.
