We play through most of the records, unless the item is clearly mint, or sealed..in which case we don't play them, thus maintaining their 'unplayed' status!

There is no dulling anywhere and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age. One light spider line around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever. We feel this has had one possibly tweo plays maximum then archived SURPLUS WAX AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE Barely a hint even, of any light whisp across the vinyl!! it is absolutely stunning..the whole vinyl plays magnificent!
