The vinyl is in beautiful condition and plays excellently throughout. HOWEVER... it does have a slight warp that I didn't notice when I purchased it. Without the warp I'd have graded the vinyl as EX+ and you'd probably be looking at a £100+ copy. The warp is not huge but I wouldn't try and sell it without mentioning it. It doesn't cause any skipping. It spans the first three songs on each side but doesn't cause any major disruption. It's hard to photograph it but I have tried above in the 6th photograph.
On the plus side, the sleeve is pretty much immaculate (Im-macca-late?) and would no doubt boost your previous mono copy of AHDN. I now have the Stereo version so no longer require this. Please see the photos above. The sleeve has very very minimal laminate creasing, the spine and edges are 99% perfect with no splits. The rear has very minor discolouration but all the edges are crisp, there are no sellotape repairs, no names written on it and certainly no 'I heart John' etc.
If you have a perfect vinyl with a less than perfect sleeve this would be an ideal purchase for you. I'd grade the sleeve as EX+++
I have tried to be as accurate and fair in my description. This is a great playable copy of AHDN if you don't mind a bit of stylus wobble. And like I said, I didn't even notice the warp until I saw it on on my turntable. You'll get a real bargain here.
Thanks for looking.
