Cover is in good condition, no tears, no seam splits and only very light edge wear from handling, however you can see some "foxing" as the original card slowly yellows due to the interaction of oxygen with the paper material.
Included is the original printed sleeve which is very interesting in itself (plastic lined inside) with much of the sleeve espousing the virtues of Decca "FFSS" Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound, although this is a monoaural recording. As the sleeve says " The finest in high fidelity monaural recording" I will be supplying this vinyl record in a separate, new inner plastic sleeve along with the original sleeve.

Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see only a couple of very light scratches on either side. This old vinyl (not shellac!) is tough and often I find it is far more durable than contemporary vinyl records. Anyway I then played the vinyl ENTIRELY, every single track, and there are no issues with surface noise or clicks/pops - nice play and the music isn't half bad either!
