THE SLEEVE

THE HEAVY CARD PICTURE SLEEVE, WITH PASTED SLICKS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR. THERE IS A SMALL AREA OF WRINKLIING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT-HAND CORNER ON THE FRONT.  THERE IS A NEATLY DRILLED HOLE IN THE TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL RUB MARKS TO THE EDGES. OTHERWISE THE EDGES ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND ALL OF THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY PLAYED THIS GREAT ALBUM AND I CAN REPORT THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT BOTH SIDES. I NOTED SOME LIGHT AND OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE, MAINLY DURING QUIETER TIMES AND BETWEEN TRACKS.
