LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels which carry just a couple of spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are practically unmarked and shine like-new
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Plays beautifully throughout - not the finest audio quality but these raw two-track reel-to-reel recordings capture the atmosphere of these gigs perfectly - an odd one-off tick noted and a touch of surface on some of the quietest moments - nothing really - but I did not clean this copy as it looked unnecessary so these may well disappear after a clean/few spins - a very fine copy which has seen little use
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Light shop creasing to the edges but otherwise crisp, clean and solid with a deep gloss to the front laminate
