Record vinyl shines is an overall very good plus to excellent condition, has obviously been played, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite minor noticeable surface marks and the occasional light hairlines.


The glossy front cover shows some creases and ringwear. Back cover has age related discolouration, spine has seam split, but is perfectly readable. (Please refer to the attached pictures.)
