THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL HEAVILY TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH FACTORY SEALED LEFT SIDE EDGE "Printed and made by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford" AND INTERNAL LYRICS PRINTED IN SILVER LETTERING

VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen and are practically unmarked
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Play-checked at loud volume it sounds absolutely stunning and plays with nothing to fault - no scratches, no clicks or pops, no groove-wear or distortion and no prominent surface noise - the quiet framing tracks Peace; A Beginning/An End and the uncredited acoustic intro to Side Two are the cleanest I have heard (as is the rest of the LP). This is a really exceptional copy and one very, very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some storage rubbing to the edges the sleeve is in great shape - strong clean and sharp with very, very little of the common ring wear (just a touch on the back at the bottom) and a straight spine with all text clear and bold

ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
