Condition: VG++ (Vinyls and Labels)/VG+ (Cover):
Vinyl still retains its original lustre and has a single light and inaudible drop mark on side 1 - otherwise barely any sleeve wear.
Labels, Decca design no. 9 / version 1, has a light degree of slightly scattered spindlewear around centrehole - less than a handfull - by far nothing that indicates excessive play - vinyl is overall graded close to perfect.

Picture cover has a few light edge wrinkles - a single one along opening. Cover has a thin stripe of laminate lift along very slightly pressurized spine - and has remnarkable deep and clear colour. back cover has very slight upper and lower cover ringwear - a light degree of creasing - has a few diffuse upper left corner tag tears. Seams are intact - spine easily readable - corner are very nice with just a touch of rubing... by far nothing affectning the overall experience of the cover, which is very decent - graded straight VG+.
