THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE, WITH PASTED SLICKS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND SOME MINOR LOSS OF LAMINATE ALONG THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS MINOR BRUISING TO TWO OF THE CORNERS. THERE IS SOME WRINKLING TO THE LAMINATE ON THE FRONT. THER EIS A '35 1/4d' TAX STAMP ON THE BACK. THE FRONT AND BACK BOTH STILL LOOK GREAT. THERE IS SOME SLIGHT TANNING TO THE BACK.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY PLAYED THIS GREAT ALBUM AND I CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. I NOTED SOME VERY SLIGHT & VERY OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE NOTABLY ON SIDE TWO. THIS GREAT ALBUM STILL SOUNDED GREAT WITH NO JUMPS AND NO STICKING.
