VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Outstanding audio quality to this first pressing - absolutely gorgeous deep, rich and warm sound and apart from the occasional background click (non-continuous, mostly between tracks and nothing I found at all intrusive) it plays beautifully with no groove-wear or distortion.
A very nice copy of this hard to find UK first pressing and even with it's tiny flaws still one of the finest copies I've heard in a long time
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+
The surfaces and edges display rubbing (from storage) but it is good and solid with no structural damage and all spine text is clear and bold
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
The original inner sleeve with the "Foreign Patents Pending" text is clean and unmarked with no seam splits
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
