Housed in the unique laminated 'Robert Stace' printed gatefold sleeve with the '3-D' panel.

Complete with its original red & white design inner-sleeve.

 
CONDITION

Disc

Labels: Excellent

Nice clean labels with just two faint spindle trails around the centre, but no marks whatsoever.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Bright sheen and superb clean playing surfaces which retain all of their deep-gloss shine. Even close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals only one or two very light scuffs and a few barely visible inner-sleeve removal hairlines. 

Play: EXCELLENT +

Clearly, this copy has only been played a few times and has been well looked after. Every song sounded clear and dynamic during play at volume. There are no traces of any audible wear on or between any of these amazing tracks.

Gatefold Sleeve

EXCELLENT +

An extremely strong and clean example with a bright & unworn 3-D panel with no adhesive bleed-through around its edges. The front leaf itself is very clean. The inside of the gatefold is clean & unmarked and still retains all its vibrant colours. The rear panel is clean & bright with a high-gloss laminate. Both seams are fully intact with clear text. There is very minor shelfwear to the top and bottom of the spine but this is very minimal.

Inner-sleeve

EXCELLENT 

Clean & flat with just a few inevitable storage bends to the corners but no writing. There is a small 1.5” seam split to one edge only.
