Bought on initial release by myself, this album has been in storage since late 70s. Given its age it's in remarkable condition. The laminated gatefold cover has some inevitable (but minimal) storage ringwear and a couple of diagonal creases on the rear (see pics). The laminate has a couple of minor flaws on the opening corners but overall it is xcellent. Opening of cover has some minor wear too, but the seams etc are intact and it is solid and sound. Vinyl looks excellent. It is shiny and the labels are immaculate with no marks. Looks like it was rarely played. There are quite a few paper scuffs inevitably, and one small scratch on start of Snake Charmer. These are only surface, cosmetic flaws, however, and unlikely to affect playbck (unfortunately I cannot play test as I have no turntable so this is an honest visual impression). After 40+ years without use it will undoubtedly benefit from cleaning. A great looking album that certainly doesn't look its age.
