SLEEVE: VG

The sleeve is in good, strong, robust condition. The main fault and that which is responsible for the downgrading is that there is a patch of damage to the front of the sleeve at the opening edge (see pictures). This damage is to the top laminated layer and does not penetrate the entire of the front of the sleeve. The edges are sharp and clean with the spine being great and all text being perfectly legible. There are a couple of laminate wrinkles to the front of the sleeve. The unlaminated rear is nice and clean with just some very light general wear and a small amount of feathering at the aperture.

RECORD: VG

The record retains is lovely deep sheen. There are some light scuff marks and hairlines although there is nothing feelable or substantial. The record has been fully play tested. A superb and unparalleled Stereo mix with lovely depth and clarity. There is some general and light surface noise most noticeable during the last track of side 1 and the first of side 2 although this is not too obtrusive. There are a couple of isolated pops but, of course, no skips or sticks. A great sounding copy of a very rare and sought after album.GRADING
