Description

No scratches.
Playback is 'excellent' with low background audible only in the run ins between tracks and on the quietest passages. No scratches so no repeat clicks, just an occasional one-off light pop.
Labels are 'excellent,' clean & unmarked with just a couple of light spindle traces visible when angled under bright light.
The gatefold cover is 'near excellent', clean without any tears or creases & only light general handling wear.
Spine is perfectly readable.
Printed picture inner sleeve is 'near excellent'.
