The translucentred vinyl plays well with only a small amount of surface noise. Allfour sides have sleeve scuffing but they are still VG condition. Thetri-fold cover is also VG with typical shelf and ring wear. Theoriginal inner sleeves (one of which includes two stamped text lines,e.g. “Made in Great Britain”) are included. The sleeves have aconsiderable amount of discoloration due to age. This is a nice playcopy.
