LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels with barely a spindle trace to be seen
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
The surfaces display some light marks and hairlines but none of these have any serious impact on the sound
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
My play-check at volume found no major audio issues of note.
An occasional tick/touch of surface on the quiet/silent moments but nothing I found intrusive and nothing unexpected in my experience for this LP.
Fantastic copy and these first Polydor pressings are really hard to find, especially complete and in such beautiful condition
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The textured matt sleeve is clean and unmarked with just light indentation marks but nothing else to fault and it looks and feels practically as-new
ART PRINTS/ENVELOPE: NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT
The textured black envelope which holds the prints is in perfect condition as are all the prints apart from one which has a tiny tear on one edge - nothing really
INSERT: EXCELLENT+
Slight signs of handling with a few fingerprints but clean, unmarked and undamaged with no creases or wear
