In good natural light and strong direct halogen spotlight the record exhibits a superb deep glossy playing surface with no marks, scratches, scuffs or blemishes. Beautiful! The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. The labels are clean, unworn and without spindle markings. A superb visual example of a difficult record to find in such fine condition.
