The vinyl is in Very Good+ condition. It has a sensational high gloss, with just a couple of small marks and a few wispy hairline marks. The blue and silver label is exceptionally bold and completely clean. The text is is sharp and there is only the slightest spindle wear.
The sound quality is Very Good. The vinyl lies completely flat on the turntable and the sound is rich and vibrant. There are moments of light background noise and a couple of clicks on a small mark, but it still has superb audio separation and that wonderful deep, bassy sound.
The laminated sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. The laminate has the most sensational polished shine. The colour is vivid, the text is solid and the image is perfect. There is the slightest wear to the bottom edge and some laminate lift on the spine. The back and inside of the sleeve are still extremely clean, the whole sleeve is very solid and the spine is firm with clear text.
