• Sleeve Condition: Good Plus (G+) to Very Good (VG)
  The original UK paper picture sleeve shows honest signs of age and storage handling. It features distinct ringwear impressions on the front and back panels, edge softening, and visible creasing/waving running through the delicate paper body (predominantly near the open pocket entry and lower corners). There are a few tiny spots of light surface discoloration on the reverse panel, but the sleeve remains fully structurally intact with no large tears or seam splits.
• Media Condition: Very Good (VG)
  The 7" vinyl single retains a healthy surface gloss but displays some visible handling marks. Under directional grading light, a collection of faint surface scuffs and light paper-withdrawal hairlines are present across both sides. The clean white/pink WEA labels are well-preserved with a tiny bit of age-toning around the center hole. Plays through with standard, light vintage background warmth during quiet passages, but without any skips or loud pops.
