The front laminated gatefold cover is in very good condition, with no laminate lifting, with some corner and edge wear, but with no tears, writing or stickers. The cover has slightly come apart but could easily and safely be glued back in place.
The inside gatefold is in excellent condition with a little wear.
The rear laminated cover is in very good to excellent condition with some edge and corner wear. Again, the cover has opened but could easily be glued back safely.
The spine is still strong, with all text readable and hasn’t been flattened or crushed. There is some rubbing on the top and bottom which has worn through the laminate.
The polyliner sleeve is in very good condition.
The labels are in very good to excellent condition with a few spindle marks on either side. There is no writing, stickers or scuffs on the labels.
The record (with water marks both sides) is in very good to excellent condition, with a few surface marks, which do not affect the sound quality.

Okay, I have been asked many many questions about this record, which isn’t surprising, so I have sat down and listened to it with great pleasure again. The cover is as described, photographed in natural sunlight. I tried taking photographs with a flash, but to be honest they looked terrible, with glare and spots. There is a slight warp on the very edge of the record. This can only really be seen at an acute angle.
This album has been played VERY loud through headphones! There is no distortion on any track.
The spindle hole is very tight, proof that the record has not had many plays!
SIDE 1: Run in: Excellent, near silent.
Track 1: Excellent, no background noise, no pops, clicks, sticks or jumps. (The watermark obviously does not affect the playing condition)
Track 2: Silent run in. Excellent to near mint play with no obvious pops, clicks, with just some very faint crackle in one or two very short places.
Track 3: Nice clean intro: Excellent to near mint play with no obvious pops, clicks, with just some very faint crackle in one or two very short places.
Track 4: Lovely clean intro. Excellent to near mint play with no obvious pops, clicks, with no crackle or distortion.
Track 5: Clean intro: Excellent to near mint play with no obvious pops, clicks, with no crackle or distortion.
Track 6: Clean intro. Excellent to near mint play with no obvious pops, crackle or distortion.
SIDE 2: Some obvious intro crackle
Track 1: Excellent play with some background crackle in places, but no distortion. The watermark has no effect on the record.
Track 2: A little crackle on the intro. Excellent play with no obvious pops, crackle or distortion.
Track 3: Nice intro. Excellent play, with a little background crackle in some places.
Track 4: Nice intro. Excellent play.
Track 5: Nice intro. Excellent play with no background problems.
Summary:
Side 1: plays in ex – near mint
Side 2: excellent play
