Condition Report 

The Vinyl is described as VG+ to Excellent & played to Excellent during today's play-test, average background with a few pops in the very quiet parts & no skips or stops. There is a barely feelable line running across A3/A4 which bar a couple of clicks has no effect on sound quality. Spindle marks to both labels. There are a reasonable number of fine hairlines & sleeve marks to both sides of the record. The Vinyl has retained a nice waxy lustre.  The Gatefold Cover is made from that amazing US thick card & is described as VG+. There is some visible edge/spine & corner-wear. There are some fine cracks to spine & edges with associated wrinkles. There is some minor ring wear to front & verso. There are some colour losses to edges & spine. There are some very minor areas of foxing to front & verso. Couple of minor stains here & there. Please see attached photos...
