Condition
Vinyls – VG-EX. All four sides have superbly clean surfaces showing no signs of wear or marks. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is great throughout. The odd click/light static in just a few places. A fantastic listening experience overall!
Cover – F-G. Wonderful gloss front and back. However, an obvious large area of rips and tears on top right of cover where stickers once were. Corners are damaged and the edges are partly worn. Aperture is very good, with just light nicks. The spine shows rubbing, has a few creases and scuffs but no splits. Vein-like creases and disc outline present on front overall. Reverse side is clean but has dents, scuffs and disc outline.
Inner picture sleeves – EX. Original. White plastic-lined paper with credits and liner notes plus photos in black text. Disc outline crease on both sleeves. Flipbacks are creased and folded on some sides but are intact. One or two marks but no edges are split.
