A GREAT ITEM FROM MY OWN COLLECTION. I GRADE HONESTLY, SEE THE PICS, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE BUYING!
GATEFOLD SLEEVE - FULLY LAMINATED WITH TRACK LYRICS INSIDE GATEFOLD AND FILM LINER NOTES TO REAR. THE SLEEVE IS GLOSSY AND BRIGHT AND IN NICE ORDER WITH SHARP EDGES AND CORNERS EXCEPT THERE IS SOME MINOR CREASING AND RELATED SLIGHT LIFTING OF THE ADJACENT LAMINATE ACROSS THE SPINE (BUT LAMINATE NOT SPLIT) AND THERE HAS BEEN A BUMP NEXT TO THE SPINE AT MID-HEIGHT WHICH HAS CAUSED A LOCALISED 1" LONG TEAR THROUGH THE PAPER (NOT THE CARDBOARD BENEATH) JUST UNDER THE PRINT LINE BUT WRITING UNAFFECTED AND REMAINS 99% LEGIBLE, see pics. THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS LIKE NEW. MINOR FEATHERING TO OPENING EDGE.  NO TEARS AND NO WRITING. OVERALL A NICE EXAMPLE. SLEEVE GRADES AS A VERY STRONG EX TOWARDS EX+
VINYL - VINYL HAS LOTS OF GLOSS AND NOT LOTS OF SPINDLE MARKS TO THE LABELS (mostly to B-side label). THERE ARE JUST A SMALL NUMBER OF LIGHT SCRATCH AND SCUFF MARKS TO BOTH SIDES PLUS A COUPLE OF SMALL SHORT NEAR-FEELABLE STYLUS JUMP MARKS TO THE B-SIDE BUT NAP AND BOTH SIDES PLAY GREAT WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS, MAYBE JUST THE VERY ODD BIT OF LIGHT CRACKLE. THE VINYL GRADES AS A STRONG VG+
DISC COMES IN A BLACK PAPER 'ISLAND' COMPANY SLEEVE. THIS HAS SOME AGEING AND SOME MINOR TEARS TO THE TOP OPENING EDGE.
