THE SLEEVE

The sleeve is in absolute stunning condition, I have seen many over the years, which are totally trashed - not this one… It's a very hard sleeve to find in top condition, the front is laminated the back is not and therefore suffers from wear easily and on top of that it's a black print as well. The front has naturally formed lamination creases from the process used to cover the sleeve its still super glossy and rich. The spine is still square with pleated ends, with all the titles clearly readable and undamaged; all four corners are also in great shape, with very minimal wear. The back of the sleeve is in stunning condition - TOTALLY UNWORN (see photo) it also has the stereo sticker, indicating it can be played on a mono turn table. I will grade this sleeve without hesitation MINT MINUS

THE VINYL

As one would expect with a superb condition cover, comes a superb condition record, with no visible marks or scuffs, on both sides its that good… it has of course been played but it must have been handled with great care over the years or just taped and carefully stored. (see photo) I have graded this vinyl on both sides Near MINT.

THE LABELS

The labels on each side are graded mint/mint minus condition, side 1 has 1 very very faint spindle mark and has some vinyl still attached to the spindle hole its self, indicating very few plays indeed. Side 2 is also in stunning condition, again with 1 very very faint spindle mark hardly noticeable on the yellow background of the label…Both sets of labels are graded MINT MINUS/MINT.

THE POSTER

This ultra rare poster only came with the very first issues, this one is in stunning condition (see photo) its still has its rich dark tone and is totally unfaded, it has a picture of the band with some circus performers on one side and on the flip side has the lyrics printed on. It has in each corner very light residue from sello tape (see photo) were it was I'm guessing attached to a wall, it couldn't have been up long has its in such great condition, and I will grade this EXCELLENT ++++

The set is complete with the original patents pending white inner sleeve which is graded EXCELLENT+++.
