Vinyl in excellent condition with just a bit of light surface wear. Plays smoothly and clearly, with just occasional quiet background crackles which can only be heard in between tracks. There is one tiny mild mark in the middle of the first track on side 1, but this only causes about five minor clicks. Really a nice copy!
Labels are clean with only a handful of spindle marks on each side.
Sleeve in excellent+ condition and looks nicely clean and tidy with just small amounts of light general wear. Front face looks superb and is flat and glossy looking with very little wear and just a couple of small light creases. Spines are clean and in shape with no splits. Minor scuff on bottom right corner. No writing or stickers anywhere. Very hard to find in such great shape!
Inner sleeve in excellent condition with no edge splits.
