Condition
VINYLS: VG/VG. Look clean on visual inspection. Some mottling marks on all sides but no scuffs except for one faint hairline on side 3. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is very good throughout. Very light static at some run-ins and the odd click during quieter cues/fadeouts but narration sounds crisp amid interspersed archival recordings. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. An enjoyable listen to this commemorative double album.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: VG. Colours clear and unfaded on matt gatefold sleeve. Minor disc ring and some curved creases across front. Punch hole in top right through to rear outer gate and apertures dogeared. A few marks in lower right corner on front. Spine and edges show no obvious wear. Corners have scuffs. Inner gate is clean and unmarked. A very good example.
INNER SLEEVES: EX. Original white sleeves with curved corners. Yellowed but clean and intact. Just a few corner folds, aperture nicks and creases. Decent examples.
