CONDITION (using RRPG grading):
VINYL: NEAR MINT. Both sides of this stunning, 120g vinyl are near mint and barely-played, with a very nicely-retained deep, black sheen and just some very faint paper sleeve "removal" marks - which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp. One small visual-only mark at the start of Track 1 on both Side 1 and Side 2 which do not affect playback - guaranteed. Audio playback is 9/10 on both sides. Record sits perfectly flat on any turntable, has no warps and plays with no skips or jumps.
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT. Fully laminated gatefold outer sleeve is near mint. No tears, stickers, folds, bumps or writing.
SPINE: NEAR MINT. Outer sleeve's spine is near mint - with no tears, bumps or folds.
LABELS: NEAR MINT. Labels are near mint. A barely-played copy which has just a couple of very light spindle marks - only visible when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp. No stickers, tears or writing.
OTHER: Inner die-cut paper lyrics sleeve is near mint. No folds, tears, stickers or writing.
