MATRIX NUMBERS:
SIDE ONE - ROUGH 106 A-2U-1-1 T10 GUY FAWKES WAS A GENIUS
SIDE TWO - ROUGH 106 B-2U-1-1.- TY1

Sleeve Condition – GOOD+ - The sleeve has some general signs of shelf wear/handling and some light creases. The artwork is still nice and bright. There's some shelf wear on the edges and spine though the spine is still clear. Nothing really bad, just enough to stop me confidently grading higher. Missing the original insert.

Record Condition – GOOD-/FAIR – The record has some hair lines/sleeve marks, scratches and a few scuffs so I decided to play test. Visually I didn't know what to expect but side one sounded pretty good. I did notice some background noise on the run ins and in between tracks, but nothing that seemed to cause any major issues. Side two started off noisier than side one. Some of this is by the nature of the first track starting off quieter and once the music really kicked in the noise wasn't as noticeable. Don't get me wrong, it could be heard through side two but as the side progressed it seemed to get less. At the end of "Unhappy Birthday", basically just as the silence between it and the next song, the record did stick for me. I adjusted the weight on the arm and it then played through without problem. This was the only instance of any sticking, and there were no jumps or skips on either side. I did hear pops throughout. This is a playable copy for anyone who wants to pick one up for significantly less than pristine copies sell for, but please be aware it is not perfect. There is also a slight warp in the record but this did not seem to have any affect. With a good clean to take away any dust etc this copy might sound a lot better... from experience a lot of background crackle can be caused from dust and dirt in the grooves.
