Record plays with a good amount of noise, especially on the first track of each side. Have A Cigar has skips and has noise throughout the opening sequence.
Cover is worn, the spine has some damage and there is minor ring wear. Some damage is present on the demo stamp. Jacket is not seam split.
Not the greatest copy, but it’s still an awesome collectible.
