THE SLEEVE

THE LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN GOOD+ CONDITION. THERE IS THE BEGINNING OF TWO TEARS AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF WHERE THE GATEFOLD FLAP MEETS THE REST OF THE SLEEVE. IN ADDITION THERE IS EXTENSIVE SCUFFING AND WEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES OF THIS FLAP. THE REST OF THE SLEEVE HAS SOME WRINKLING / MINOR CREASES IN THE LAMINATION AND A FEW MARKS. 

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT MARKS AND SOME SCUFFS. UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT AT THE END OF SIDE ONE, TRACK 3 THERE ARE TWO QUICKS SKIPS AND ANOTHER TOWARDS THE END OF SIDE TWO, TRACK 1. OTHERWISE THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD WITH JUST SOME OCCCASIONAL BACKGROUND INTERFERENCE.
