Condition:
Vinyl: VERY GOOD
Visually the vinyl is glossy and clean. There are visible hairline marks to both sides. The labels are without writing but show scuffing around the spindle hole. VERY GOOD. It plays very nicely, the lead ins are slightly noisy but the record is quiet throughout the remainder.  There are a couple of unobtrusive pops. No skips or jumps. A nice listening experience. VERY GOOD.
Sleeve: VERY GOOD 
The front retains a glossy finish with bright colours. There is a crease to the bottom left corner. There are several laminate ripples. The rear is off-white and discoloured along the opening edge. However, it is much cleaner than most overall. There is no sign of ring wear, fully readable spine with just mild wear from laminate rippling, the top and bottom edge show some scuffing, the corners are slightly rounded.
Inner Sleeve: VERY GOOD
The original polythene lined, die cut Emitex 'Protect Your Records' inner sleeve is included. It is slightly discoloured and shows some creasing. Also included in the sale is an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record.
