Nice and bright creamy white front, back & insides and still retains its glossy sheen without ring wear. Nice clear very low 4-digit serial number #9144 with some discolouration at the spine side, the spine has patches of wear. Overall a fantastic 1st UK mono 'top-loading' sleeve even rarer with such a low number, below the 9,500 mark.
Disc One: EXCELLENT!
When viewed under direct halogen spotlight the record is glossy and clean with light surface marks visible. Nothing big or significant. It plays with some light background crackle in some quiet parts that does not distract from the overall listening experience. No skips or sticks obviously with this grade. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. Label one has a round sticker on.
Disc Two: VERY GOOD PLUS!
When viewed under direct halogen spotlight the record is glossy with a small amount of light hairlines. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. Obviously no skips or sticks with this high grade.
Inners: EXCELLENT!
The original and very delicate black die-cut paper inners have light handling wear.
Poster: EXCELLENT!
Original double-sided poster is clean with light wear at the fold lines.
Photos: NEAR MINT!
