This single is in beautiful beautiful condition with only slight background pops and crackles now and again, more so on the B side. I have just played this fresh from being in storage for the last 30+ years and I wouldn't be surprised if these little noises were there from day 1, but maybe a cleaning session will lose them completely. These really are 2 fantastic tracks to listen to and the odd pop and crackle just adds to the magic in my view. It's vinyl after all!
There are from what I can see 3 really faint scratches across the vinyl, 1 on side A and 2 on side B. You have to look closely though and they will not show up in photos. These in no way spoil the tracks, the stylus does not skip or get stuck at all.
It comes in what I believe to be its original purple Philips sleeve which is in very good/excellent condition, no rips or tears just some age related creasing and minor discolouring.
It will be sent well packed and fully insured and tracked.
