TOTALLY SILENT LINKING GROOVES, AND I  DIDN'T HEAR ANY  DUSTS POP OR TICs THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THE TOP EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE COLOURS RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE REAR RIGHT TIP END

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT . THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. COMPLETELY COLOURED WITH JUST A ONE LIGHT INE OVER THE SURFACE AT THE BOTTOM AND A DOT OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM TIP END

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT

THE LARGE CIRCULAR STICKER IS IN PERFECT CONDITION

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A MINT PAIR OF INNER PANELS
