THE GOOD
Placed in MoFi Inner Sleeves and PVC Outer Sleeve since.
Outer cover is in great condition other than a couple of small, creased corners.
Pictured inner sleeves also in great condition other than loosing their sheen slightly due to the record being nearly 20 years old.
Vinyl, other than some slight crackles, also in great condition except for the issue below.
NOW, THE BAD
Does not contain poster insert (didn’t have it when I bought it).
At the start of Side D, it looks as if something has hit and misshaped the very edge (yet again, it was like this when bought it and it is pictured above). Whilst this doesn’t make the stylus jump, it does create a crackle for about 45-60 seconds.
I have a video of this so if you want to see it, send me your email in a message and I’ll send you the video.
—————————
That aside, it’s fine but please remember that this is affectively a picture disc and comes with the inherent surface noise of that particular format. If you want more information about this pressing, I would go and find it on Discogs.
If you’re after the “best, vinyl fidelity”, your best bet would be to source the new reissue which came out this year.
