THE SLEEVE
THIS RARE RECORD IS HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL FOLD-OUT NEWSPAPER SLEEVE. THIS GREAT GIMMIX SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THE ONLY FLAW I CAN SEE IS SOME LIGHT SCUFFING TO A SMALL AREA ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE PART OF THE SLEEVE THAT HOUSES THE RECORD. THERE IS NO TANNING AND THE NEWSPAPER IS NICE AND WHITE. YOU WILL BE HARD PUSHED TO FIND A MUCH BETTER SLEEVE.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY BOTH SIDES OF HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEAR TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A HANDFUL OF TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO EVERY SECOND OF EVERY TRACK AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS NEAR MINT THROUGHOUT THIS WONDERFUL ALBUM.
THE LABELS
THE GREEN CHRYSALIS LABELS WITH, WHITE ISLAND RECORDS TEXT AND “I” LOGOS, BOLD BLACK TEXT AND RED LOGOS, ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO MARKS OVER THE TWO LABELS. BOTH OF THESE LABELS ARE PRISTINE!!
SIDE ONE
- THICK AS A BRICK
SIDE TWO
