Condition of the Top Loader cover is very good, very sound with minor edge nibbles and laminate cracking on the spine, there is a slight yellow age tinge as with most copies of this version. Fully useable with no problems.
The 4 Photos are excellent with no marks or pin holes, also comes with the original spacer page used to protect the photos when in the sleeve - I will pack these correctly when sending
The poster is original, also excellent, with no pin holes, splits or writing.
The 2 Black inners are original, in good condition, slight splits to the sides as per photo but still perfectly usable with care, could be taped as reinforcement but will leave that choice to the new owner,
Condition of Records - No sticks, jumps, skips or pops on either record. Played through today on my Rega P 2 tracking at 2 grammes.
Record 1 has a slight buckle which lasts for just over 2 tracks, has no affect on play at all, there are a couple of visible light scratches on side 1 which also do not sound. Some light hairlines under light. There is crackle throughout sides 1 and 2 but very light, way beneath the music.
Record 2 No real outstanding marks., some faint hairlines under light. Crackle throughout, always under the music, side 4 possibly slightly more than the other 3 sides but nothing which makes listening unpleasant. ( Confess to not playing track 29, assume it is as per the rest !) There is no "between tracks" on this album so did not quote for that. Both records are graded as VG as I don't want to over grade, although quite a few tracks could be classed as VG+. May benefit from a pro clean if that is available.
Summary is that it is overall a complete 1st pressing of this classic album which has been oft played but well cared for, still very listenable, but has ageing signs, visually and sonically, as described, now 55 years old it should last many more years,
Selling to UK post codes only please - I have hopefully described everything accurately, if any further info is required please message.
