Condition is excellent. The sleeve is clean with no tears or seam splits. There is very slight evidence of shelf rubbing and the spine has a very faint crease running down it but otherwise the sleeve is in virtually mint condition.
The playing surfaces are beautifully clean and glossy with no scractches, scuffs or abrasions. Playback is free from any surface/background noise and there are no big clicks and pops and no skips and jumps.
This is a truly beautiful album made without compromise by a bunch of musicians at the absolute height of their creative powers. TREAT YOURSELF !
