CONDITION (using RRPG grading):

VINYL: EXCELLENT++ (visually NEAR MINT)
Both sides of this stunning heavyweight 173g vinyl have a superb deep, black sheen.
Visually, it looks NEAR MINT on both sides and sits tight on the spindle - this is clearly a barely-played copy.
There are just a few very light and faint paper sleeve "removal" marks and a couple of extremely light hairline marks on either side - which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
Both sides of vinyl have just a few light and sporadic static "pops" and a very minimal amount of static "crackle" - which are only present very occasionally and in the quieter parts of the record - which are barely-audible.
The "pops" and "crackle" on this vinyl are audibly very light and incredibly insignificant - they are certainly never heard "above" the original recording and do not affect what is a FANTASTIC listening experience.
At the start of Side 1 there is a light click which is barely audible and lasts for 10 revolutions before it disappears completely.
This really is a superb copy with TOP AUDIO and the overall playback and sonic quality throughout is SUPERB.
This first UK press has a loud, strong and well-defined audio reproduction - much stronger and with more clarity than other pressings I have heard.
Audio playback ranges from 7.5-9/10 throughout.
You will not be disappointed with this vinyl's DETAILED audio and playback quality - GUARANTEED.
The record sits flat and tight to the spindle and plays through with no sticks, skips or jumps.

SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Very minor (but very acceptable) signs of wear to both front and back.
A small and very acceptable amount of laminate creasing to the front.
There is a tiny amount of water marking to a small area of the back cover at the top and at the bottom righthand corner which are very acceptable.
A small "30 30 30" is written in black ink on the back cover which is tiny and hardly noticeable.
No other writing and no folds, splits, stickers or tears whatsoever - which makes this a very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE copy.

SPINE: EXCELLENT++
Text is clear and fully readable.
No tears, writing, splits or folds whatsoever.

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Just a couple of very, very light spindle marks - which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
No writing, marks, tears or stickers.

OTHER: Original plain white inner sleeve shows minor paper discolouring and is EXCELLENT+ with no splits, folds, tears or writing.
