Description
Note for Collectors: The matrix run-out grooves reveal this is an interesting cross-pressing, with sides 1 & 2 pressed from Dutch stampers and sides 3 & 4 from German stampers, a common practice for efficiency in European manufacturing at the time. This makes for a cool variant without affecting the superb sound.

Condition Breakdown (Graded Conservatively)
We believe in accurate grading to ensure your complete satisfaction. Please see the photos, which are an integral part of the description.
VINYL (Records 1 & 2): EX to NM (Excellent to Near Mint)
· The highlight of this set! Both discs are clean and glossy.
· Surfaces are exceptionally clean for their age. There may be a few very light, cosmetic hairlines that do not affect play.
· Playback tested: sound is clean, clear, and dynamic with no skips, pops, or surface noise.
· Labels are clean and fully intact.
INSERTS: EX (Excellent)
· A complete set! All four (4) original large portrait prints/photos are included and are in excellent condition. They are crisp with no tears, folds, or markings.
· The original double-sided lyric/poster sheet is also included and is similarly in excellent, clean condition.
GATEFOLD COVER: VG (Very Good) - Not far from VG+
· The cover shows typical shelf wear for its age but remains solid and presentable.
· There is light ring wear on the front and back, which is visible but not severe.
· You will also notice general edge and corner wear, including some slight rubbing and soft creasing. The spine is intact with no splits.
· The gatefold hinges are fully secure. There are no major seam splits, water damage, or writing. A very respectable copy for display and play.
