Has some creases to the outer protective film and some discolouration to the front top right.

The vinyl has the RARE and much saught after yellow and black parlophone labels!! It has retained a nice glossy sheen to the surface and sits flat with no warping. It is quite messey to look at - there are a quite a few visable surface marks/lines and some hairline scratches including an ugly NON FEELABLE patch to one side where it is more notable (as pictured) not a top copy.

Completing this set is a purple & white EMI inner protective sleeve which is fabulous! Very bright and clean with no splits or tears!
