Condition details:
I have play tested this record. Vinyl has numerous light marks on both sides, and plays through with light background crackle most noticeable during quieter moments such as the Planet Caravan track. Overall, still a great listen with some tracks sounding incredible, in particular Electric Funeral really hits home. Rating VG.
Label has previous owner's name in pen on side B.
Sleeve has usual age-related wear to edges and corners. Previous owner name in pen on top of sleeve, and inside gatefold. Some laminate creasing. VG.
Inner sleeve has previous owners name and custom drawings (quite a cool artefact, in my opinion!)
