Both Sides have lots of marks and scratches. Still Has some shine.
PLAYTESTED and it plays with no skips, jumps or sticks on my budget deck (it may not play the same on other more sensitive decks). Please Note : The actual Audio is Strong and Vibrant, There is no lessening in sound quality, It does however play with crackle, static and clicks throughout, The louder tracks do mask this to a degree but there is noise throughout. This record has been stored for 50 years and will benefit from a proper clean. This is a very rare record, it is sold as a collection filler copy due to the scratches and noise but it does have strong audio, No returns.
Both Labels have some spiders legs under strong light. Clean labels, No wear.
Earliest Laminated Front/Unlaminated Back Mono Sleeve has some wear. Front has no rubbing and has a nice shine, some tiny creases from edges, a few creases near opening edge and some across corners.

Spine is still crisp and Fully Readable with a couple of creases running through, Back has not faded or rubbed, it is a little discoloured/grubby near top with a few small marks here and there.
