*CONDITION:*
RECORD: NEAR MINT
This is a nice copy of the cult prog rock classic. Looking at the vinyl, it appears to be in near mint condition, even under strong light, with no visible wear. The original full shine is also present. There may be some pops and crackles depending on the quality of the playback equipment, but no jumps or significant faults.
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Labels are near mint with just two very light signs of spindle lines, hardly visible.
COVER: EXCELLENT+
The cover is smooth and is free from writing, rips, tears, defects. Edges and front have a little shelf worn as seen in the photos, that's why the cover is graded Ex overall, but it's very neat and fresh with all the spine detail clearly legible and spine showing no signs of wear. ‘Printed & Made by E.J.Day, London’ stated on the inner gatefold, confirming its early history.
INNER SLEVEE: NEAR MINT
The original inner sleeve, with superscription ‘Made in England’. No rips, writing tears etc. Great condition!!
