These two records have some short light scratches and scuffs on the playing surfaces which cause an occasional click during playback. Most are light and unobtrusive but there are a few on "Rocky Raccoon" which are louder. Each side has been individually play graded as described below, however the AVERAGE overall PLAY GRADE is around VERY GOOD condition :
Side 1 : VERY GOOD
Side 2 : GOOD to VERY GOOD - a scratch on Rocky Raccoon causes some clicks.
Side 3 : VERY GOOD
Side 4 : VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT
The fully laminated top loading gatefold sleeve shows some ringwear, with light creasing and light rubwear to the edges. There is some feathering and wear to the front top opening edge. The sleeve is clean, and despite being laminated it has browned slightly with age and handling. The spine is unflattened and fully legible. Numbered 0341274, which has faded slightly (see pictures)
Small sticker residue mark on side 1 and 3 labels (see pictures 11 and 12).
Original black paper inner sleeves. No seam splits, but one has a tear on the front die-cut centre hole - see pictures 6, 7 and 8.
Complete with the four original photo prints and double sided poster/lyric sheet. The four prints are clean, with light knockwear to the corners. The poster is clean with light creasing. None appear to have been hung, as they do not have pin holes or tape marks etc - see pictures 9 and 10.
