Vinyl: EX - EXCELLENT (PLEASE SEE BELOW).

Nice and crisp. Barely played. Nice punchy analogue sound. One visible needlemark on final track of side 2 but not audible. Plays like a very nice EX++ with no surface noise save for very faint static crackle during the quieter passages.

Sleeve: Original Ernest J Day gatefold. EX. Generally crisp and clean. Gatefold sleeve has very minimal wear. Light corner and edgewear and light rubbing and a visible crease/area of distress along the spine. Interior of gatefold has some light contact rubbing and fingermarks but the images are clear and unaffected - one of the better examples I've seen.

Inner sleeves: original printed poly-lined Harvest label inner.

Labels: Super clean. Light spindle marks.

Matrix numbers:

Side 1: SHVL 751 A-1

Side 2: SHVL 751 B-1
