LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels with just a tiny number of spindle traces - the embossed KT tax code on Side Two is bold, prominent and unrubbed
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT++
Both vinyl surfaces retain their original deep, glossy sheen - no dulling - practically as-new with just a few superficial hairlines - impossibly minor and audibly insignificant
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Sensational sound quality with a crystal clear, razor-sharp and detailed STEREO cut and my play-check at loud volume found nothing to fault - beautifully clean and flawless playback with silent run-ins and track divisions.
An exceptional copy and they really don't come much better
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Like the vinyl, the cover has been carefully handled and stored and consequently is in lovely condition - clean, sharp and fresh with just a touch of feathering to the opening edge and a couple of soft shop creases to the extremities - nothing major - superb example
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
The original EMITEX inner (with tracing paper-like lining) is clean with no damage or seam splits
