Cover:  1963 Ernest J Day pressed large "MONO" text sleeve with the laminated front cover and rear triple flip-backs. Excellent condition for a 55 year old sleeve - see photos
Labels:  Rare yellow & black Decca pressed labels with the tell-tale inner ridge. No writing, stickers or doodles. Near Excellent condition - see scans.
Record:  Play tested.  Heavy duty Decca pressed vinyl. Looks VG+. I played this through twice - once with a lightweight arm and the second time with a heavier one. The difference was remarkable. A heavyweight arm will reduce crackle considerably and it played Excellent with no skips/jumps on this one but only VG with a lighter arm which had more crackle in the run-in and in quieter moments. Therefore, best played with a heavyweight arm/stylus to get the best out of this record. 
This record had not been played since around 1967 until I play tested it, so it might benefit from a light clean to bring up to its best. 
Inner Sleeve: Original Emitex poly-lined inner sleeve in Excellent+ condition - see photos.
