Matrix / Runout - Side B - Stamped - HAR 5201 B-1
Vinyl Condition - Very Good+ - The disc is very bright and clean; barely a surface mark and no worrying scratches. However, there is what appears to be a small pressing issue in the form of a minute embedded white spec, which is towards the end of the first side. Having listened to both sides, I can confirm that there is no jumping or sticking but there is a run of about six light clicks, which seems to be caused by the flaw. Background crackle/noise is virtually non-existent and mainly heard during the quieter introduction on the second side.
Sleeve Condition - Very Good - Original picture sleeve which has light wear in the form of minor creasing but no serious faults.

It is not my intention to profit from postage. If possible I use good clean recyclable material but I also buy bubble wrap, brown paper, packing tape and glue and all items are well wrapped and protected before posting. Items are also weighed and postage calculated before I list at auction and a small percentage of the charge does go towards packing costs. See About Me for further general despatch information.
