****ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED****

FRONT JACKET Condition:

FRONT OF JACKET LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. NICE COLOR HAS BEEN PRESERVED WELL THROUGH THE YEARS, ONE OF THE BETTER LOOKING BOB MARLEY COVERS I HAVE EVER SEEN. REALLY LOOKS AND FEELS VERY NICE. IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE SPINE ON THE JACKET IS SPLIT. (SEE PICTURE)

BACK JACKET Condition:

BACK OF THE JACKET HAS A LITTLE MORE WEAR THAN THE FRONT BUT STILL CONSIDERING HOW OLD THE RECORD IS, LOOKS REALLY GOOD. THE ALLIGATOR SKIN TEXTURE TO THE JACKET IS WHAT MAKES IT.

VINYL Condition:

OVERALL RECORD SOUNDS EXCELLENT - REMARKABLE FOR THE AGE OF THE RECORD. NOTE HOWEVER RECORD HAS SLIGHT DIP ON IT ALONG THE EDGE. AS A RESULT THE FIRST SONG ON EITHER SIDE DOESN'T START FROM SILENCE, AND SKIPS OUT ON MAYBE 30 SECONDS OF THE SONG. ALL THE OTHER TRACKS ARE AMAZING SOUNDING HOWEVER, WITH THE NORMAL STUDIO ONE BACKGROUND NOISE OF COURSE. (WHICH MAKES THE RECORD OH SO SWEET)
