Vinyl: 140g
EX-. Visually has light marks, but after playing her through (which is never a chore as it's one of my favourite albums-so played UP LOUD TOO ;) The bass was rich and deep, only very slight background noise, only evident in the quiet areas-more so at the start of side 2 on Gallows Pole-until the guitar kicks in and a smile just creeps across your face;)...Then the drums hit in and the creeping smile gets even larger!!!
FLAT & HEAVY
All round simply superb sound reproduction!

Album Cover:
R-A-R-E
EX-. The album front laminated and highly unusual cover has minor signs of wear. With some ring-wear and minor impressions to the cover. There are a couple of spidering points to the front laminate and light dings to the corners. The back card has the laminated flipbacks and carries the text:
"Imprime en France
GLORY CARPEL 92-CLICHY"
Some light dirt to the bac  card, with the ringwear evident.
NOT AT ALL TRASHED!!!!
Strong and legible spine.
NO WRITING OR SPLITS
Very VERY nice and RARE cover!
As a note......The track listing for track 5, side 2 is 4min 20sec on the cover listing, whilst it is 3min 41sec on the label!
