Vinyl still have good sheen & play through very well with no skips, sticks or jumps and overall strong audio & production. Occasional light background / surface in places through headphones but overall very good audio on this classic 9th studio album. Fine hairlines and some light surface under the lamp with some further clusters of fine hairlines in places. Considering its age the two vinyl are in pretty good shape overall and there is nothing feel able throughout or anything that detracts from playback either. Labels have no splits, stickers or writing and have light spindle wear to the centres. Plain white inner sleeves with Apple copyright print and patent numbers also. Age related yellowing, creasing and the odd split here and there too. New anti static inner sleeves are provided alongside the originals. Outer fully laminated G&L sleeve has no splits, stickers or writing. Spine is just legible but has fading and wear, light scuffs to the corners and wear in places along the edges. Some laminate creases and laminate scuffs also too. Light marks in places as this white sleeve naturally easily marked. Pretty good overall for its age and popularity. Side opening gatefold with embossed front logo and No. 145069 printed in bottom right corner. Double sided poster is thin paper so was easily damaged so there is one splits along the crease folds but the poster still opens up fully. No tape or tack marks. Age related creasing to surface I’d present also. No postcards.

General U.K. record collector grading of..

Vinyl x 2: VG + overall

Sleeve: VG + to VG

Labels: VG +

Poster: VG - complete though with age related wear.

So overall not a bad issue of a highly collectable original LP. Not an absolute minter but in pretty good shape overall and always highly sought after too.

…

All records are properly play tested through headphones unless otherwise stated or still sealed.. All vinyl is inspected under a bright halogen lamp and carefully graded.. I use the standard UK record collector grading system appreciating that opinions differ.. I never add more than one + or - to my gradings and never grade a record as M unless its new or sealed.

…

Comes in new PVC protective sleeve with new anti static inner when inner sleeve is printed or a new one is required.
