Warning (with dunbar credit)

 

The vinyl is in VG+ condition. I have cleaned the record but again a better clean may help. There are some light surface marks and surface scratches to both sides  but arent very noticeable unless under strong light. Appears clean and glossy. I have played the record side 1 begins a little crackly but improves greatly with good definition but some background noise. Side 2 has minor background noise but superb sound quality

the labels are vg+. both are crisp but side a has a few minor marks so does side b but both are still presentable.

The inner vertigo sleeve is present but has been neglected and has a split on the top left edge. Still useable but to prevent further damage i have placed the record in a plain white sleeve.

The cover is VG+ - EX/ As the pictures show there is some rubbing to corners and minor rubbing to edges. The spine is clean and presentable very readable with some minor edge wear. The front is very clean and presentable with a few very minor marks which have no effect. The inner cover is superb with bold vivid colouring. The back half of the gatefold is clean and presentable. On the tree there are some faint white marks i think this is in the cover production but showed this as a necessity. The opening for the records top and bottom shows minor very minor splits on the edges of the opeining around 2mm in length this is nothing and for an album which is 40 years old it has done very well

 

 

Overall a fantastic item
