Vinyl: Very Good +
The vinyl is in superb visual condition and has fantastic playback.
The vinyl surface retains the original gloss sheen.
The labels are bright and have very little spindle wear.
Both sides have a couple of subtle marks that can be picked up in the light.
The audio on both sides is fantastic; crisp and clear with no backgroundcrackle. The crickets can clearly be heard on ‘Sun King’.
A really enjoyable record to listen to.

The sleeve looks great.
Both the front and rear are very clean and retain the original brightcolours.
The corners are sharp, and the spine is well defined.
There are no rips, tears or writing present anywhere on the sleeve.
Only negatives are a couple of scuffs at the top on both the front and back.
