I'm not going to pretend this is in perfect condition. It plays throughout with no sticks or jumps, and there are no scratches, but there are surface marks and a fair bit of background crackle when you play it. How much of that is down to static and the album just needing a really good clean, I don't know. It was old and well used when I picked it up about 25 years ago. Probably only played it a handful of times, and - until I checked it a couple of days ago - not at all for the last 10 years. I don't have pro-standard cleaning equipment, and as it would probably better be done by someone who has, I've left it alone.
Labels bright and clean - darker red than they appear in the photos - with no writing and surprisingly little spindle wear.
Sleeve is pretty good save for some age yellowing, album edge trace showing through, some laminate cracking along the spine and a bit of wear to the spine corners. See photos.
Inner sleeve is a generic old age-yellowed poly lined paper bag with some tearing around the label viewing hole.
