Vinyl: This carries the early solid light blue triangle. There are no major surface marks on side A or B of the record that I can see. There is very little surface noise on either side; on side A, there is a small click at the start of track 3. Side B has a small, almost inaudible amount of surface noise on track 2. The surface noise is minimal as described, and does not spoil the overall listening experience; all instruments and vocals sound nice and clean. I would class the condition of the vinyl as excellent.
I am not a dealer and am selling this from my own vinyl collection. The record has been cleaned using the Knosti Disco-Antistat cleaner; the results are generally excellent and surface noise can be much removed. The vinyl itself looks clean with disk and labels in good condition; and I have listened to all tracks, not just the first few seconds, on my Technics SL-QL1 record deck, prior to listing it. I have assessed its condition using the Record Collector Magazine’s grading system as a guide. I have also tried to keep my descriptions as honest as possible, but obviously this is subjective, and at the end of the day it is my opinion of how the record sounds. This is an excellent example of the album and the record is playable, does not jump or skip and is still enjoyable to listen to despite the very minor surface noise.
Cover: The gatefold cover is the very dark blue (black with blue tinge) version in excellent condition showing normal wear and tear for a record of this age. There are no major defects. All text and graphics are clear and readable. Both sides are open, although the front looks like it was sealed, but the glue has dried out with age. I would class this overall as excellent minus.
Sleeve: The inner sleeve is the original black paper sleeve. The record has been placed in new white poly-lined paper sleeve. The black sleeve will be included.
Inserts: 2 “FasPrint Permanent” and “Crack Back Patented” labeled stickers, with dark brown diagonal stripes on the back; 2 posters; all in excellent condition.
