CONDITION:
Record: VG + [as is usually the case with Decca pressings of this age there are a number of light pressing faults - "dimples" - on this album, mainly on the 1st side, although a number of these play they are remarkably unobtrusive. The few scuff marks are very light and do not play, there are occasional dust ticks but this copy has obviously been looked after and there is little distortion in the playback, a rarity for a pressing of this age]
Cover: EX - [ “Pc” written in small script in the upper right hand corner of the back cover, contemporaneous "NT" (price-code?) sticker top right of back cover, inevitable wear to the spine & rims but overall a very clean and neat copy of this very fragile early Decca sleeve]
Despite the above caveats regarding the pressing this is easily the best copy - cover and record - that I've ever seen of this album
Status: Very rare in a condition as good as this
This is one of a number of classic LPs that I am selling, please see my other items.

GRADING
Unless otherwise noted all Grading is visual - Grading as follows:
Mint - this is a sealed record.
NM: Clean but opened. Plays mint.
Ex+: as above but with the occasional hairline mark, sometimes dusty
Ex: A few more light marks. An Ex cover will be structurally sound with no splits or tears.
VG: Again light marks. Maybe some very faint background noise in places.
G: visually still a good copy, though possibly a bit grubby or with a few ticks.
