A RARE ITEM FROM MY OWN COLLECTION. THE SLEEVE INCLUDES THE 'HELLS ANGELS  FRISCO' PIC TO THE FRONT BUT WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY 'CENSORED' BY "DATE" HAVING TO COVER IT BY A STICKER (STICKER NOW MISSING).
THIS ITEM IS DEFO WORTH A BID DUE TO ITS SCARCITY VALUE - SEE ALL THE PICS, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE BUYING!
SLEEVE - GREAT PICS TO THE FRONT AND REAR (SLEEVE LOOKS TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE COLUMBIA ISSUE SAVE FOR THE "DATE" LOGIA TO THE FRONT AND REAR AND THE SPINE). THE SLEEVE IS OF THIN CARD WITH LAMINATED FRONT AND FLIPBACKS TO THE REAR, AND A MATT B&W FINISH TO THE REAR. THERE IS GLUE RESIDUE (a black colour) TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND FRONT CORNER WHERE A 2 1/2" × 1 1/2" STICKER HAS BEEN PEELED OFF THE 'HELLS ANGELS' PIC. THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS AGE AND SOME GRUBINESS TO THE FRONT AND REAR EDGES. THE LEFT HAND SIDE EDGE TO THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE AND THE ADJACENT REAR EDGE HAVE BOTH BEEN COVERED BY A BROWN STICKY TAPE BUT NOT THE SPINE, DESPITE SOME BUMPING AND CREASING THE SPINE REMAINS 95% FULLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS GENERAL MINOR CREASING AND SOME BUBBLING OF THE LAMINATE BUT THE LAMINATE REMAINS FULLY INTACT AND SOLID. QUITE HEAVY RINGWEAR RUBBING MARK TO REAR OF SLEEVE.  FEATHERING AND CREASE-BENDING TO THE OPENING EDGE AND ONE SMALL THUMB TEAR. NO WRITING. OVERALL, THE SLEEVE IS FULLY INTACT AND FUNCTIONAL, IT IS BETTER THAN IT SOUNDS. SLEEVE GRADES AS VG
VINYL - A NICE THICK SLAB OF VINYL. VINYL HAS GLOSS AND SOME PLAYWEAR ALTHOUGH NOT SIGNIFICANT AND NOT THAT MANY SPINDLE MARKS TO THE LABELS. THERE IS A SCRATCH IN THREE PARTS EXTENDING ACROSS SIDE 1 WHICH STARTS OFF AS VERY FINE BUT FOR THE LAST 1 1/4" IS MORE VISIBLE BUT NONE OF THIS SCRATCH IS FEELABLE AND DEFO NAP. SIDE 2 LOOKS IN NICE SHAPE. THE DISC PLAYS GREAT AND SOUNDS GREAT, JUST THE ODD BIT OF VERY LIGHT CRACKLE AND DEFO NO SKIPS OR JUMPS. THE VINYL GRADES AS (per side):  Side 1 STRONG VG towards VG+ / Side 2 STRONG EX
THE LABELS ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT.
THE DISC IS HOUSED IN A CLEAR PLASTIC BAG WHICH LOOKS ORIGINAL BUT I CANT CONFIRM THIS.
