Limited number issue 0381816 .A stunning example of the very earliest issue of this monumental classic .Top opening double gatefold sleeve, beautifully embossed with a thick laminate coating inside and outside. Feel of this sleeve is awesome, let alone its appearance. One visible crease on top edge of reverse.Light laminate peel on spine . Spine solid and square clearly showing title . No crushing to spine Corners light scuffing only.Top edge has minimal feathering and ring wear is hardly noticeable. .White coloration still quite strong with a high gloss finish . Inner faces near perfect with little discoloration. A sensational album sleeve better than the majority and will grade excellent- !
Audio analysis Very good with a few light scratches in places.
At start of side 2, right on the run in at extreme edge, there is a deeper scratch which causes a clunk(also a cyclic hiss for 5 secs) just at the intro stage of first track.
Complete with poster which has one fold almost completely detached on seam but no rips nor tears. Second fold has small seam split again but not a tear. Good + condition
Prints four excellent + condition with one reverse face with stamp in ink not legible
