Cut-out insert: Near Mint. Dark green with 'Made in Germany' printed in bottom left corner.
Labels: Near Mint.
Vinyl: Thick heavy duty 1st pressing vinyl. Play tested. Looks Excellent with a lovely sheen and just one non-feelable mark on Side One. Plays Excellent. No skips/jumps. Minor static crackle on the run in to Side 2 and just occasionally here and there - nothing to spoil the enjoyment.
