THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED, HEAVY GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH EXTRA WIDE SPINE IS IN STUNNING EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY INDENTED MARKS. THE SLEEVE STILL HAS IT’S ORIGINAL ‘KATE BUSH AERIAL....’ STICKER NEATLY AFFIXED TO THE FRONT. THERE ARE THE BEGINNINGS OF SMALL SPLITS TO THE TWO TOP EDGES. THE VINYL HAS NOT YET KNIFED THROUGH. OTHERWISE THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND PERFECTLY STRAIGHT & PRISTINE. THE EXTRA WIDE SPINE IS SUPERB AND THE TEXT ON IT IS PERFECT. THERE ARE NO TEARS AND NO INSCRIPTIONS. A LOVELY LOOKING SLEEVE - SO MUCH NICER THAT THE DIGI-PAK CD VERSION!!

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE TWO BLACK POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH IN STUNNING NEAR MINT CONDITION AND I CAN SEE NO FLAWS.

THE BOOK

THIS RARE DOUBLE ALBUM IS COMPLETE WITH IT’S 24-PAGE ILLUSTRATED LYRIC BOOK WHICH IS IN IN STUNNING NEAR MINT CONDITION AND I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY SIGNS OF VERY CAREFUL HANDLING.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE FOUR SIDES OF VERY HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL ALL APPEAR TO BE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY HAIRLINE MARKS. I HAVE LISTENED TO ALL FOUR SIDES AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY SUPERB THROUGHOUT. I ONLY NOTICED SOME VERY OCCASIONAL & VERY SLIGHT STATIC-LIKE MINOR SURFACE NOISE DURING THE FIRST TWO SIDES, THIS GREAT & VERY RARE DOUBLE ALBUM SOUNDS FANTASTIC!
