CONDITION
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both playing surface are clean & glossy but do bear a few light surface marks & hairlines, none of which are deep or serious. Both labels are clean & bright with minor wear to each centre hole.
Audio: EXCELLENT +
Despite having received a moderate amount of play, this is a superb sounding disc with clear, clean & unworn sound throughout. A touch of low-level vinyl background is audible between tracks but there are no clicks, pops, ticks or any thing else to spoil the exceptional quality of the sound on this early copy which will not disappoint.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A respectable, fully intact example of this early cover. The front panel bears moderate storagewear along with a few 'thumbnails' & edge wrinkles. There is slight wear to the corners and front opening edge but no tears or heavy bumps anywhere. The exposed rear panel is clean, bright and free from any marks, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are intact and both seams and the fully worded spine are all unworn, unstressed & unsplit.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD +
Apart from some age-toning, there is little else to fault here.
