The gatefold sleeve is solid, nice inside; a bit of corner/edge rubbing wear. Very good , correct, black hype sticker on front
Has 2 excellent condition glossy posters (band and pyramids - correct cat. no and colours for first year press)
Labels on both sides show very little signs of use, no marks, writing etc.
The vinyl is very clean overall, no scuffs/prominent marks - a few usage marks / hairline surface lines. Nothing that causes any issues, plays with no jumps or sticks
The background noise is minimal, crackles a bit at start on build up, which is usual; the quieter parts have a bit of occasional noise - overall though it still sounds fantastic. A nice listen.
PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOS AND THE CLIP; MESSAGE WITH ANY QUESTIONS
