CONDITION
Disc 1

Just 2 or 3 spindle marks to both labels.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both sides are clean & bright displaying just two small marks on side 1 and some inner-sleeve removal hairlines, but no other marks or wear to either side.
Audio: EXCELLENT -
This disc has received some careful light play and is without any significant audible wear. Apart from a few light clicks on 'Piggies', 'I Will' & 'Julia', there are no significant or major audible faults.
Disc 2
Labels: MINT
No spindle marks to either label.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Extremely bright & clean, both sides rtain their original deep gloss shines. There are no scuff or scratches to either side and apart from some minor inner-sleeve storage marks visible only under halogen light, there is nothing further to fault.
Audio: EXCELLENT +
This barely played disc sounds clean & clear on all tracks, with no groovewear or background noise throughout. There are no clicks, pops or any other signs of audible wear anywhere.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
A strong 'thick card' example which bears some natural age-toning & minor handling/storagewear, but no major faults. There are some marks to the lower left corner but otherwise the corners are all clean & unbumped. The top opening edges have light wear only with no tears to any edge. The rear panel has some small indentations and a bend to the upper right corner. The inside of the gatefold displays a few light 'half-moon' handling wrinkles on the right panel but is otherwise undamaged. The spine has some missing laminate but the text is undamaged and is readable. All seams are strong and unsplit and there is no writing or any other major faults anywhere..
Photos: MINT
