CONDITION
VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT DOES HAVE A FEW SURFACE MARKS HOWEVER THESE DO NOT EFFECT PLAY.
ON PLAYING I GRADE IT AN EASY VERY GOOD GRADING. THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC THROUGHOUT BUT THE ALBUM STILL REMAINS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO. I HAVE PLAYED THE ALBUM FROM BEGINNING TO END AND IT DOES NOT SKIP OR JUMP. IT PLAYS VERY WELL THROUGHOUT.
LABELS
THE ORIGINAL SOLID BLUE PRISM LABELS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THEY HAVE NO WRITING, STICKERS OR DAMAGE.
COVER
THE ORIGINAL BLUE TINGED GATEFOLD COVER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT HAS NO WRITING, STICKERS, TEARS OR UNGLUING. IT HAS NO SEAM SPLITS, ONLY A LITTLE CORNER AND EDGE WEAR. WHEN CLOSED THE COVER DOESN'T SEEM SQUARE, IT SEEMS TO CLOSE ON A SLIGHT SLANT. PLEASE SEE 2ND AND 3RD PHOTOS. THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD REMAINS CLEAN AND DAMAGE FREE.
POSTERS
THE POSTERS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THEY HAVE NO PIN HOLES OR BLU TAC MARKS. THEY HAVE NO SPLITS TO THE FOLDS.
STICKERS
THE STICKERS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THEY ARE UNUSED AND HAVE NO DAMAGE.
INNER SLEEVE
THE BLACK POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR DAMAGE. THERE IS A LITTLE GENERAL HANDLING WEAR / CREASING. THE POLY LINER REMAINS FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE PAPER SLEEVE.
THIS IS A SUPERB OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS RARE ORIGINAL PINK FLOYD GEM.
THIS WILL BE SECURELY PACKAGED IN A BOX AND SENT USING THE SECURE SIGNED FOR POSTAGE OPTION WITH INSURANCE TO ITS VALUE.
