Original pressing retaining a beautiful deep gloss.
Under strong light there are some light surface hairlines and superficial sleeve marks, but no deep scratches and no feelable marks.
The record has been fully play-tested and plays beautifully throughout, with only very light occasional background noise, entirely consistent with an original Jamaican/Trojan pressing of this era.
No skips, no sticks and no sound system wear.
Labels show the typical manufacturing characteristics found on original Jamaican pressings. Side 1 has a paper tear around the centre hole, while Side 2 shows light age-related wear only.
