Vinyl: VERY GOOD

Visually the vinyl is glossy and clean. Several whispy marks can be picked up in bright light . The labels are bright, clean and without writing. VERY GOOD. The audio is great! There are quiet lead-ins to both sides and very little noise in between tracks. Subtle crackle can be heard on quiet sections of some tracks but it is not distracting. There is great channel separation, clear vocals and punchy bass. There are no skips, jumps or repeats. VERY GOOD +.

Sleeve: VERY GOOD
The sleeve looks great. Both sides retain a glossy finish with bright colours. Although well camouflaged, there is a point blemish to the front cover. There is no sign of ring wear, fully readable pinched spine without wear, top and bottom edge without wear, and corners with mild wear. 
Inner Sleeve: VERY GOOD +
The original die-cut black inner sleeve is in great condition. It is without any rips or tears and shows only minimal creasing. Also included in the sale is an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record. 

This record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
