THE BLUE NOTE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH WEAR, SPLITS TO ALL THREE OF THE SIDES AND GENERAL TANNING. SOMEONE HAS WRITTEN THE ARTIST AND TITLE ON ONE SIDE AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL TEARS AT THE OPENING.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY PLAYED THIS GREAT ALBUM AND I CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE NOISE DURING QUIETER TIMES AND A FEW LIGHT TICKS MAINLY DURING SIDE ONE. SID ETWO PLAYS REALLY WELL, THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THIS CLASSIC ALBUM PLAYS THROUGH AND DOES NOT GET STUCK AND BOTH SIDES STILL SOUND AMAZING.
