Cover is in excellent condition, no tears, no discolouration, no writing - very light edge wear due to handling. Although I am providing a new inner clear plastic sleeve, I am also providing the original Electrola inner sleeve for nostalgic reasons, lots of advertising printed on the sleeve relating to Electrola (Germany) vinyl care accessories
New inner plastic sleeve
Regarding the recorded material, I wasn't going in with high expectations considering this was originally recorded in 1955 but I was astounded at the quality on this release, really really good!
Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see no scratches or marks on either side BUT there has been plasticiser leeching from the original sleeve to the vinyl surface, leaving a faint pattern on the record. I then played both sides entirely, and there are no significant issues with surface noise or clicks/pops.
New outer protective sleeve
Tracks: Opus De Funk, You Leave Me Breathless, Opus And Interlude, Opus Pocus
