THE SLEEVE

THE BEAUTIFUL FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION.  THERE IS JUST SOME LIGHT WEAR AND THERE ARE A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE. THERE IS SOME LIGHT TANNING TO THE NON-LAMINATED REAR. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND SQUARE AND STRAIGHT. THERE IS SOME RUBBING TO THE SPINE AND NOT ALL OF THE TEXT ON THE  SPINE IS LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW SLIGHT MARKS. NONE AFFECT THE PLAYBACK AND HAVING LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES OF THIS BRILLIANT RECORD I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.
