Vinyl: There are no surface marks on side A of the record that I can see; side B has a small scratch at the start of the first track. There is some surface noise on both sides; on side A, there is a small amount of surface noise on the run in with 3 or 4 light clicks mid-track. 3 or 4 clicks at the start of track 4. Side B has a small scratch at the start of the track, which causes clicking, but doesn’t jump. It plays cleanly for the rest of the record but suffers from small amounts of surface noise at the end of the record. 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 very good minus.

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 a good example of the album and the record is playable, does not jump or skip and is still enjoyable to listen to despite some minor surface noise.

Cover: The gatefold cover is in very good 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. I would class this overall as very good.

Sleeve: The inner sleeve is the original paper sleeve. The record has been placed in new white poly-lined paper sleeve.

Inserts: 2 stickers with FASPRINT on the back; 2 posters; all in excellent condition.
