THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED, GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS SOME WEAR AND THERE IS SOME RUBBING TO THE EDGES, CORNERS AND FRONT. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT TANNING INSIDE THE GATEFOLD. APART FROM THE RUBBING, THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS STILL JUST LEGIBLE..
