LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean labels - light spindles
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen - some light marks - nothing of any major audio consequence
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+/EXCELLENT
Overall an extremely nice copy - my play-check at loud volume found a little surface on some of the quietest/almost silent moments (on Side Two, Side One plays beautifully) but nothing intrusive. There are no scratches or loud clicks or pops and this ranks of one of the finest copies I have heard in a long time, and these first pressings don't surface too often
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
A fine example - no peeing to the metallic surfaces (a little feathering on the opening edge). All edges are sharp and all text on the spine is clear. There is some natural record impression showing as ring rub but nothing major (always difficult to get a proper representative image of these metallic sleeves - looks better in real life than it does in the photos), again, one of the finest I have seen in a while
