LABELS: NEAR MINT
The labels are clean, bright and unmarked with just a couple of light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Apart from some light brush marks from the inner (of no audible significance) both surfaces shine like new
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Sensational audio quality on this first pressing - beautifully recorded and engineered with a strong, rich, warm and vibrant sound and my play-check at loud volume found little to fault - just a tiny touch of surface between a couple of the tracks - plays beautifully
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
The fully laminated gatefold sleeve is also in great condition. The surfaces (both outside and inside) have a beautiful deep glass-like glossy sheen, the edges are crisp and sharp with no wear and the spine is straight and true with all text clear and bold. There are some impression marks visible when the cover is angled to the light (nothing major) overall, a very nice example
LYRIC INNER: EXCELLENT-
No seam splits, just a small snag on the top opening edge where the thumb notch had caught when being inserted into the sleeve
