LABELS: NEAR MINT
An immaculate pair labels - one light spindle trace
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new with nothing but a couple of inconsequential marks
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
In keeping with its barely played status my play-check at volume found practically nothing to fault the strong atmospheric sound - just the (very) occasional one-off light tick - nothing really - nothing else to fault
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
As crisp, sharp, clean and fresh as the day it was made - tiny touch of rub to one corner
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Crisp and sharp - no seam splits
POSTER: VERY GOOD
Unfortunately the poster has been on someones wall and has tiny pin holes in the corners, it’s also got damp at some point and has wrinkling to the bottom edge - no structural damage - not too bad at all and rare to find in any condition
