CONDITION (using RRPG grading):

VINYL: EXCELLENT++
Both sides of this stunning heavyweight 180g vinyl have a superb deep, black sheen.
Visually, it looks excellent - but playback and audio are much better at EXCELLENT++.
There are several faint hairline marks on either side - most of which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
The record also has three other marks on either side which are visual only and do not affect the excellent++ playback - guaranteed.
Both sides of vinyl have just a few light and sporadic static "pops" and a minimal amount of static "crackle" - which are only present very occasionally and are barely-audible.
The "pops" and "crackle" on this vinyl are extremely tiny and incredibly insignificant - they are certainly never truly heard "above" the original recording.
They do not affect what is a FANTASTIC and thoroughly enjoyable listening experience.
This really is a superb copy with TOP AUDIO and the overall playback and sonic quality throughout is SUPERB.
This first UK press has a loud, strong and well-defined audio reproduction - much stronger and with more clarity than other pressings I have heard.
Audio playback ranges from 7-8.5/10 throughout.
You will not be disappointed with this vinyl's AWESOME audio and playback quality - GUARANTEED.
Record sits flat and plays through with no sticks, skips or jumps.

SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Very minor (but very acceptable) signs of storage wear to both front and back.
A small and very acceptable amount of laminate creasing to the front.
One very small tear in part of the opening edge.
The first signs of a very small snag to the bottom edge (which has not come fully through the card material).
A carefully and neatly repaired top corner edge where a small split has been rectified.
No other tears, folds, splits, stickers or writing - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.

SPINE: EXCELLENT+
Text is clear and fully readable. Very light signs of storage wear only - which makes it very acceptable and collectable.
No tears, writing or folds.

LABELS: EXCELLENT++
Just a few light spindle marks - most of which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
No writing, tears or stickers.

OTHER: Original Emitex white paper inner sleeve and poly liner is EXCELLENT+ with no splits, folds, tears or writing.
