CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are clean & bright and without any writing, stickers or missing paper.
Visual/Audio: GOOD
The playing surfaces are clean but bear many light/wispy hairlines, along with a few aged fingermarks. There are no feelable marks or scratches.
Despite having been played many times, the sound quality, with its deep bass and crisp high-end, is superior to any of their Parlophone 45s. Some light crackle is audible in the quiet intro and there is a hint of playwear on some of the peaks but no jumps, clicks or any other issues.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
Clean with no writing, just a small lower seam stress.
