VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
This practically untouched copy plays beautifully throughout with nothing of note to fault.
No clicks, ticks or pops and exceptionally clean on the quieter sections
SLEEVE: EXCELLLENT
Apart from a snag on the front die-cut section and a small split on the spine (please see close-up pictures) the cover is the cleanest and freshest I have seen and probably never even opened out before my photos.
Superb example and even with the snag/split I don't think you will find one better
