Description
From my personal collection and owned from new. As you will see from the pictures, the vinyl has a significant chip out of the outer edge where it was clumsily dropped by me onto a concrete floor edge ways. Other than that however, this record does play very well and if it weren't for the damage would be a very nice copy.
It did get a fair bit of play back in the day, but other than a few feint marks and hairlines, mainly paper scuffs, the vinyl is still clean and glossy. It can still be played with careful stylus placement. There are about 3 or 4 playable rotations before the music starts and although there are obviously clicks from the damage, these fade and stop pretty much as the first track of each side begins, so it doesn't actually effect playback once started. Other than a little feint crackling between tracks and a few louder clicks on the intros to the last song on both sides, this record plays very nicely and if not for the damage would be high end VG+ to Ex.
The outer sleeve is in excellent condition with no splits, tears or staining and only the slightest bit of wear to the spine. The inner sleeve is in VG+ condition with just some very light staining, light creasing and a small 10mm tear to the top edge.
I love this album but can't bear to face my own stupidity every time I look at it, despite the fact it is still very playable with care. So if you've got a nice copy but with a ragged sleeve, this could be your chance to upgrade, or alternatively, a bargain price for a classic album foe someone with a steady hand :)
