LABELS: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of labels with only one spindle trace on Record One (the spindle hole is still very tight) and only 2/3 spindles per side on Record Two
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+/NEAR MINT
All four surfaces shine like new with nothing but harmless wispy hairlines under bright light
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+/NEAR MINT
Plays as-new with nothing to fault bar a few light ticks/some surface on the quiet/practically silent passages - nothing really and I did not clean this copy so any static/surface will undoubtedly disappear after a clean/few spins - fantastic copy - as good as it gets and one of the finest I have seen
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some old tape reside marks on the bottom edge (only visible on the inside of the gatefold - please see close-up photographs) the cover is clean with sharp edges and spine where all text is clear and bold
INNERS: NEAR MINT
Both of the original lined inners are clean and unmarked - no seam splits
