The Who Live At Leeds 12" Black Vinyl LP 1970 Decca USA Hard Rock Vintage

Used

Black 12-inch vinyl LP grades visually around VG+ with strong glossy sheen and scattered sleeve scuffs, numerous faint hairline surface marks, and fine paper-rub swirl on both sides together with minor dust and fingerprint smudges that would benefit from a gentle cleaning before play; no deep scratches, warps, cracks, or edge chips are visible and the cream handwritten-style Decca center labels show light age toning and spindle wear but remain clean and fully legible with no writing or added stickers. Tan gatefold folder jacket also grades visually around VG+ and shows overall age toning to the cardboard, a noticeable ring-wear arc across the upper front and back panels, scattered small spots, smudges, and light surface soiling, and corner and edge wear including small tip rubs and minor spine and pocket-edge scuffs, while the interior pockets display foxing specks, faint stains, and handling marks but retain solid seams.
