• Vinyl Record: Very Good Plus (VG+). The heavy vintage 12" black vinyl surface is beautifully preserved, holding its strong original gloss well across both playing surfaces. A close inspection under a direct light source reveals a tiny handful of faint cosmetic paper sleeve storage wisps. Audio tracks run brilliantly with superb orchestral definition and minimal background surface distraction.
• Labels: Excellent. The classic HMV red semi-circle paper labels are exceptionally clean and crisp across both sides. Text is perfectly unrubbed with minimal center spindle trail marks.
• Picture Sleeve: Very Good (VG). The original front-laminated flipback cardboard sleeve remains structurally sound and complete with firm seams. The front glossy artwork shows minor edge wrinkles, while the matte white reverse panel displays standard natural aging, light handling marks, and minor storage edge rubbing. The rare dynamic Emitex cleaning material advertisement inner sleeve is preserved intact
