THE SLEEVE
THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED FRONT-LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE, WITH THREE REAR FLIPBACKS, IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME LIGHT RING WEAR AND THERE ARE A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION. ALL OF THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE WHITE TEXT ON THE BLACK SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS GREAT ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD THROUGHOUT. I NOTED SOME SURFACE NOISE, LIGHT CRACKLE AND THE ODD CLICK & TICK AT TIMES - MAINLY ON RUN-INS / RUN-OUTS, BETWEEN TRACKS AND DURING QUIETER MOMENTS. I STILL THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE LISTEN.
THE LABELS
THE VERY RARE BLACK & SILVER PROBE LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS.
