RECORD/SLEEVE:
Lucky to be selling another one of these in great shape! So here we have it; a fantastic example of a classic album! The first press slabs of vinyl stand in beautiful, barely played condition. Under harsh inspection, there are just the odd little sleeve removal lines, mostly on the first disc - there is little evidence of play on the second disc. You have to get the record under the strongest of lights to see a few very faint lines on the first disc. Other than that though, no hairlines or marks so the vinyl records an incredibly strong EX+ Enjoyed playing these as they music bounces out, a little light crackle in between tracks but I think a good clean would sort that out.

The sleeve is superb as well! I've seen a couple of these and they just tend to rub so easily - this one is fantastic through. There is some rubbing along the edges but the spine is very clear and readable. The corners is where there is some wear, as there is some scuffing there but again, it doesn't affect the how good the sleeve is. There is also slight ring wear but it isn't at all intrusive! As you can see from the pics, the main defect is a scuff to the front of the sleeve, which has a sticker over it. Having said that, I have just tried to be thorough and in general I think it's still an above average sleeve and still grades as VG+
