Condition Report
Both Vinyls are described as Excellent+ & easily played to that during today's play-test, well below average background & no skips or stops. Just a couple of spindle marks. Both Vinyls have retained nearly all of their rich waxy lustre. The Gatefold Cover is in amazing shape & I have described as Excellent. 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. No seam splits. Please see attached photos...
