Sleeve has a 5 or 6 cm split at bottom opening. Sleeve has no writing & stickers but is scuffed. Text on spine is mostly legible and inside the gatefold the shot of the band looks excellent. Clean labels. Vinyl is visually VG and has been pro-cleaned. Side 1 plays like a strong G+ with some background noise that doesn't overwhelm. Side 2 plays more like VG. Vinyl has been pro-cleaned. If cleaned again it may sound better. Comes with poly lined swirl inner that is mismatched.

Stored. GYLE1. Remove from inventory if sold.
