VINYL CONDITION
Vinyl appears exceptionally clean overall with strong glossy surfaces. Based on visual inspection, the records show very little evidence of use.
Please examine the photographs closely for condition. Records have not been professionally graded or play-graded unless otherwise stated.
COVER CONDITION
Original white/blue Factory gatefold sleeve shows considerable age-related cosmetic wear.
Visible condition includes:
Water/moisture staining
General discoloration/age toning
Corner and edge wear
Surface marks/soiling
Localized paper loss/damage near the lower corners
Small vintage price sticker/remnant on rear
The sleeve is absolutely not mint, and all cover wear has been photographed clearly.
Despite the cosmetic sleeve wear, this remains an attractive original Factory Records collector copy, particularly because of the clean vinyl and identifiable Townhouse deadwax.
