Sleeve Jacket: Very Good Plus (VG+). Brilliant lamination across the front face with light feathering creases near the spine edge. The unlaminated reverse side shows minor handling coloration and age-toning along the opening frame, keeping text completely clear. Spine text is completely crisp, visible, and uncrushed
Inner Sleeve: Good to Very Good. Displays typical vintage storage yellowing and minor crinkling near the opening lips, but structurally complete without total split seams.
An incredibly honest, completely intact British Merseybeat-era piece looking for a solid new home. Will be shipped securely in a dedicated cardboard record mailer with stiffeners. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
