This release was the only "Gatefold Sleeve" edition, occuring immediately after they stopped issuing blue-back sleeves, and is one of the most sought after 1st generation SXL's.

The record is in a clean, bright condition and still retains a wonderful gloss both sides.

Side / Face 1 - generally for the most part unmarked and clear. But there are an occasional few light surface marks in places and a couple of faint light hairlines, non of which are feelable.

There is a single mark that can be seen which creates a very small section of ticks. I  grade this as a strong VG++

the majority of the surface appears unmarked and in superb condition.

The few light marks only very occasionally affect the playback

Side / Face 2, again there is a small mark that creates a small series of faint ticks some of them are harder to hear and is more noticeable in the quieter sections.

Some other very slight background noise in places that is very occasional and very minimal and is probably expected from this record. Some static & crackle, which may well be eradicated with a professional clean using anti-static.

The Sleeve - Generally clean with some surface marks. There is discolouration/toning on both the rear and the front and a few handling crease marks.

The edges are  worn and a little rubbed in places generally around the spine area.

I have taken numerous photos so that you have a clear visual understanding of the condition of the sleeve and playing surface.
