===============================================================================================
Purchased several years ago, from a record fair, the side two label carries a Factory Sample sticker which I believe to be genuine but as these now appear with alarming regularity on ebay, I would ask you to remain sceptical when bidding and focus more on the disc itself
Disc:
Labels: VERY GOOD
All text is clear and undamaged / numerous spindle trails / sample sticker side 2
*
Vinyl (visually): VERY GOOD -
Numerous careless light handling and needle lines / no scuffs / still a reasonable surface lustre
*
Vinyl (audibly): VERY GOOD
Sound quality is excellent / mild crackle / random pops and ticks / no heavy clicks / no stalls or skips / plays through fine
Cover (G&L)
FAIR
Very grubby and tired looking / 50mm tear through the 'Blue Meanie' / see photos
Inner sleeve:
GOOD
Original single die cut black paper / fully intact / very good internal repair to two split seams

Request for more detail about the vinyl:
Audio quality is superb with no appreciable deterioration to the powerful mono mix. However, due to the numerous lines, crackle, pops and ticks are present in places through most tracks, more noticeable on side 2, which is instrumental. On balance, this is still a great copy to listen to and performs without stalls or jumps and has not been played on bad equipment, just carelessly handled.
