Vinyl: Ex minus. Nice and clean with only light surface marks and a little spindle wear. Custom plain white labels with black text. Labels are clean and free from scuffs, stains and blemishes.
Sleeve: VG++ Iconic cover shot emulating the classic Elvis Presley album in colour & design. Features Pennie Smith's amazing out-of-focus photo of Paul Simonon, just seconds away from twatting his Fender Precision bass guitar into the floorboards of the New York Palladium on 21st September 1979. (The second of their two New York showcase gigs). Front cover is nice and clean although white borders on reverse are showing some signs of age discolouration and hints of ring-wear. Edges are still good and there are no splits, tears or creases.
Inner lyric sheets are nice and clean with no scuffs or stains, creases or tears, but the side seam on Disc One has become unglued (see close-up)
It's a well-played but very well looked after example of a fantastic album.
Low reserve and postage discounts available for multiples.
