---------------------------------------------
Both Albums are in VG+ condition with no deep scratches or marks, light handling marks are evident under strong light as you would expect from records this age. I have played both records and couldn't find and skips, jumps or clicks, there is slight crackling during quiet sections but again no more than you would expect, the sound quality would improve if VPI cleaned by the new owner.
The packaging is also in Very Good order, the Album Sleeve has been in a PVC Protective Sleeve from new and has very little edge or corner wear, some "Yellowing" is evident but again nothing major, the laminate is undamaged with no lifting and in excellent condition with just slight cracking on the spine (See Pictures Below).
The original black inners are excellent with no splits or tears, the photos are close to mint with no creases bends or scratches, the poster show evidence of light handling and has 1 small (2cm) tear to the bottom edge.
PLEASE NOTE ALL ABOVE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN BY MYSELF AND ARE OF THE ACTUAL ITEM FOR SALE.
I HAVE TRIED TO BE AS THOROUGH AS POSSIBLE WITH THIS LISTING, BUT IF YOU REQUIRE ANY MORE INFORMATION OR PICTURES PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK.
