OF THE ORIGINAL RUN OF PRESSINGS THIS WAS THE LATER OF THE TWO, BOTH VINYL AND SLEEVE. THE SLEEVE IS THE SLIGHTLY GLOSSY SMOOTH CARD VERSION.  THE SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT, VERY CLEAN (FOR A WHITE SLEEVE) NO AREAS OF DAMAGE, NO WRITING OR STAINING TO THE SLEEVE, ONLY GENERAL HANDLING AND AGE-RELATED MARKING. THE SPINE IS GOOD, THE TEXT HAS RUBBED SLIGHTLY BUT IS STILL MOSTLY READABLE, NO AREAS OF DAMAGE TO THE SPINE, NO TEARS OR SPLITS OF THE SPINE.

THE SQUARE CORNERED VERSION INNER SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT, SOLID, NO TEARS TO THE EDGES, NO WRITING, ONLY MINOR STAINING AND AGE SPOTS TO THE LOWER EDGE OF THE SLEEVE.

THE VINYL IS EXCELLENT PLUS, AUDIO IS FANTASTIC, IT IS CLEAN WITH A GREAT SHINE, NO AREAS OF DAMAGE, NO STICKS, SKIPS OR MAJOR POPS THROUGHOUT, ONLY THE LIGHTEST TRACE OF SURFACE NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS, NOTHING AT ALL THAT AFFECTS PLAY, SOUND IS GENUINELY EXCELLENT. VISUALLY THE RECORD LOOKS CLEAN AND GOOD, ONLY MINOR WHISPY LINES AND PLAY MARKS, NO MAJOR SCRATCHES, NOTHING THAT AFFFECTS PLAY AT ALL.

LABELS ON BOTH SIDES ARE MINT.
