Although the record obtains some scratches, the record itself plays beautifully.
It has been play tested twice and after all these years it still sounds just as amazing, below i have attached a description of how each track plays individually.
The Outer Sleeve: - The front is clean however there is some horizontal line marks across the front .
There is a little laminate cresing, signs of little wear on the corners of the sleeve.
Great condition all round the rear has a few signs of laminate crease and the overall colour is a little darker as it is 56years old.
Shows off the band photos well.
The spine is good condition, small signs of wear.

The Inner Sleeve: - Made in England with the relevant patent numbers has some discolouration and marks/little tear but given the age of the vinyl, its condition is good.
The labels: - Look bright, have no marks or writing on side one, side two shows little sign of use around the hole but only slight and very little signs around both centre holes of its past use.
Great - please view photos
The Vinyl: - visually is good - Side one - There are a few hairlines visible to the eye however it must be CLEAR this does not cause any problem when listening...
no jumps or skips throughout the whole run.
A few other very small spots but hardly there - great sheen - Side two - A little sign of wear, a few hairlines but again no problem when playing- no jumps or skips - looks really good in the main and has a great sheen again.
How it sounds: Track By Track
Good Times Bad Times
Plays all the way through absolutely fine.
No skipping - slight crackle sound in the run and around the quiet parts, and when the music kicks in, it blows you away.
Babe I m Gonna Leave You
When quiet parts of the song are on, there is a slight crackling noise but yet again plays through without skips or jumps great.
Played all the way through wonderfully apart from odd surface noise.
You Shook Me
Played all the way through- no skips or jumps.
Again, sounds great.
Dazed and Confused
Plays well all the way through sounds amazing- no jumps or skips- slight noise at but other than that plays great.
On one part of the song can when it is going over a hairline ever so slightly an occasional little bump noise for around 30 seconds and then stops, light static pop, but sounds great, my favourite song.
Your time is gonna come
Slight surface noise at the start of the record but no skips or jumps.
Plays well all the way through, sounds great.
Blown away when the drums start, amazing.
Black Mountain Side
Again, plays fine all the way through- no skips or jumps- slight crackle noise when quiet parts play but again, amazing sound.
Communication Breakdown
The ultimate rock song.
Sounds fantastic, when the guitars start, it s unbelievable: Plays through with no skips or jumps.
I can t quit you baby
Plays all the way through fine - no skips or jumps just the slight surface noise which can be expected due to its age but again, plays through well.
How many more times
Plays all the way through fine - no skips or jumps throughout the whole song.
Great way to end an unbelievable listening experience.
