Side 1 has a couple of faint scratches non feeling , a very faint hazy patch and a scuff in the run out. Side 2 has just a couple of extremely faint hairlines and a faint hazy mark near run out, apart from that there is just the odd extremely light and faint sleeve removal marks under strong
artificial light...Has a Great Shine. A Stunning Example, Playtested fully below.
PLAYTESTED and it plays all the way through with no jumps, sticks or skips. Audio is Stunning, Strong and Vibrant with no lessening in sound quality. It plays with some static in the quiet parts and the odd click here and there. It has been stored for 50 years so will benefit from a proper clean which often will reduce the static.
Labels are clean with slight wear to raised KT tax code, signs of being played under strong light spiders
