  The Vinyl   VERY GOOD +

  If you're looking for a Mint copy this is not the one for you BUT a very respectable copy of this RARE vinyl overall

  On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks nice and clean and glossy but when tilted into direct strong light there are several hairlines, definitely been played many times.No actual scratches that are feelable though and on my test play there was no effect on a great audio playback experience.
  

  
  

  The Audio Quality 

  I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system,  the audio is great for a 53 year old vinyl ! 

  Clear and vibrant through out, with (no) distortion or any signs of groove ware at all  !!!! 

  Certainly (no) clicks pops or jumps!!  

  just a little crackle sometimes between tracks and on run in, not intrusive at all especially when the music kicks in.

  
  

  The Labels:  Excellent

  These are nice and clean ! a few FEINT SPINDLE LINES can be seen on each side, angled in strong light.

  Confirming this has definitely been played BUT nice For a vinyl that is 53 years old , AMAZING !!

  
  

  The Outer Laminated Cover  VERY GOOD+ 

  This is the original Clarifoil Laminated front Printed cover , nice clean appearance for its age !!

  NO RIPS OR NASTY NAMES WRITTEN ON ETC 

   STILL RICH IN COLOUR  Super FULLY LEGIBLE spine 
  

  The opening edge is starting to show its age and there is general foxing and handling wear front and back but overall a strong VG+ (see Pics)
  

  The original Inner Sleeve 

  This is the original white inner sleeve

   general foxing and showing its age,but fully intact,probably would change in the future.
