2 X VINYL - VG condition overall: signs of use, lots of light hairlines. 
Side 1 (VG) run on crackles and occasional light background noise between tracks and quieter parts. Side 2 (G+) run on crackles a bit more light background noise than the other sides that improves. Side 3 (VG) run on crackles and occasional light background noise between tracks and quieter parts. Side 4 (VG) run on crackles and occasional light background noise between tracks and quieter parts.
All sides play very well, no skips, jumps or ticks. None of the light background noise is overpowering and is not audible all of the time. Vinyl looks a bit dull, has not been cleaned.

I don't know where the album was stored prior to my acquiring it but items have a musty smell and will need a bit of airing.

Please see photos
