VISUALLY, UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, JUST SOME FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND SOME COSMETIC HARMLESS HAIRLINES. NOW THERE ARE NOT MANY ON SIDE 2, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE ON SIDE 1, FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, BUT NOTHING FEELABLE, AND WHEN ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FINE, SO ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN, THAT IT IS JUST A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. AS MENTIONED THERE ARE A FEW FAINT TICKS, NOTHING NASTY, SO STILL A GREAT LISTEN, AND DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS ALBUM, I AM GOING TO GRADE ON THE SAFE SIDE AND GRADE THE AUDIO ::  VG+/EX- . YOU CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE DESCRIPTION !!!!

SO TO SOME UP, THIS IS A RARE FORGOTTEN PROG PSYCH FOLK ROCK CLASSIC, AND PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH NOTHING NASTY AND AS DESCRIBED. THERE ARE SOME COSMETICS, WITH A FEW MORE ON SIDE 1, AND THEY ARE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT JUST A VISUAL EFFECT, AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THEY WERE THERE WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING THE VINYL. LOVELY FIRST PRESS COVER AND LABELS, SO GREAT ALBUM !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
