THE SUPERB PICTURE SLEEVE IS VERY SLIGHTLY TEXTURED TO THE FRONT AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND MINOR BRUISING TO TWO OF THE CORNERS. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND NO TEARS. THE OPENING IS NOT FEATHERED. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE BLACK TEXT ON THE WHITE SPINE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE HAS BAND MEMBER PHOTOS AND THE LYRICS ON IT. THIS INNER IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND THE BERY BEGINNING OF TWO SMALL SPLITS TO THE SIDE EDGES.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE PLENTY OF LIGHT MARKS AND LIGHT SCUFFS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO THIS GREAT ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT, WITH NO PROBLEMS TO REPORT.
