CONDITION
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A high-quality unblemished front panel which, as you can see, has undergone an exceptionally clean & tidy peel
There is a small bruise to the lower right corner but no splits to any and both opening edges are unworn & undamaged
There is some damage to the mid-lower part of the spine which affects the text at the lower end. The upper/main text is clear & readable. The rear panel is clean overall with moderate age-toning & handling wear but without writing or missing paper.
Both upper and lower seams are smooth & fully intact.
Disc: VERY GOOD
Clean & glossy playing surfaces with a number of light stylus hairlines both sides, but nothing deep or feelable.
All tracks play well without any significant deterioration to the sound quality or any major faults.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD +
Clean & uncreased with a partly taped lower seam split
