Media Condition: Very Good Minus (VG-) to Very Good (VG)
The vinyl disc shows visible signs of historical play wear, light surface scuffs, and fine handling lines when examined under a direct light source. However, the record has been fully play-tested from start to finish and plays completely through without any skips, jumps, or sticking. Expect standard vintage analog background surface crackle, which is completely typical for a 1950s pop pressing. The center labels remain remarkably clean with sharp, crisp gold lettering and no handwriting or stickers.
Sleeve Condition: Good Plus (G+)
The original paper London company sleeve is authentic and intact. It shows honest, heavy age-appropriate wear from storage over the decades, including overall creasing, noticeable edge wear, and crumpling along the top opening edge. The seams remain solid and free of major, rough splits.
Shipping and Packaging
The record will be packaged securely inside a dedicated cardboard 7-inch vinyl mailer. To prevent edge damage and seam splits during transit, the vinyl disc will be removed from the main company sleeve. Includes a brand new plastic inner sleeve to protect the vinyl. Includes a brand new plastic outer sleeve to protect the paper sleeve. Tracked shipping is provided.
