THE HEAVY GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY INDENTED MARKS TO FRONT AND BACK AND SOME SLIGHT TANNING TO THE OPENING EDGE. ALL OF THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE LOVELY AND STRAIGHT. ALL THE TEXT ON THE EXTRA WIDE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPLITS, NO TEARS AND THERE ARE NO INSCRIPTIONS. THIS IS A GREAT LOOKING EXAMPLE OF THIS ICONIC SLEEVE!!

VISUALLY THE FOUR SIDES OF GLOSSY, VERY HEAVY BLACK VINYL ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE LIGHT MARKS AND SCUFFS WHICH DO NOT AFFECT PLAY.  I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO ALL FOUR SIDES OF THIS GREAT DOUBLE ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY WAS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
