Condition
Vinyl Sound Quality - This superb sounding copy is free from any sign of audible wear. I have played it once at volume and detected very little groove/playwear, clicks, ticks or any other distractions. Superb sound quality
Visual - When held to the light there are a couple of minor hairlines, these are insignificant and do not effect the sound quality. Otherwise it has maintained its original deep gloss finish
Labels - There are some faint spindle trails. Otherwise both labels are in nice clean condition, with no writing or other damage
Cover A superb example of this incredibly fragile cover. Both the front and back cover have maintained the original super high gloss laminate with just a couple of faint creases being the only real blemish. The inside of the Gatefold is in excellent condition - perfectly clean with no creases or writing. Just slight wear to the bottom of the central crease being the only defect. All other seams of the rear pocket are smooth and unstressed. The spine is square, white and fully laminated - with just a few signs of ageing
Overall this is a superb copy which has been very well cared for
