THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED, FRONT-LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT WEAR AND SOME VERY MINOR TANNING TO THE REAR. THERE ARE SLIGHT BUMPS TO TWO CORNERS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE AND THERE IS ONE TINY MARK AT THE OPENING. OTHERWISE THE EDGES, CORNERS AND SPINE ARE ALL STRAIGHT AND ALL OF THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS FULLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE VERY HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS & SCUFFS. I HAVE PLAYED BOTH SIDES AND I CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. I NOTED SOME VERY SLIGHT & OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISES AND A FEW TINY TICKS.  

THE LABEL

THE BLACK COLUMBIA LABELS HAVE SILVER TEXT AND BLUE COLUMBIA & MAGIC NOTES LOGOS ON EACH SIDE. THEY ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPIDERY SPINDLE MARKS PER LABEL. THERE IS AN EMBOSSED “KT” TAX CODE ON THE SIDE ONE LABEL.
