The GLOSSY thin paper PICTURE SLEEVE is in EXCELLENT condition with really very little wear at all. Comes complete with ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER sleeve printed in both English and Japanese which is also EXCELLENT with very little wear at all.


SHIPPING All Singles/Lps are packed carefully and shipped using purpose made new corrugated card RECORD MAILERS ( not thin card, single sleeve 'envelopes' etc ) and we take care to make sure that the vinyl and inner sleeve are removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit.
