THE SLEEVE
THE WONDERFUL DAVID STONE MARTIN ILLUSTRATED, FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS MADE OF THICK, HEAVY CARD WITH PASTED SLICK. THIS SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND A FEW SLIGHT WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATION ON THE FRONT. THE BACK SHOWS MORE WEAR AND DISCOLOURATION. THERE IS A PRICE INSCRIPTION IN ONE CORNER. THERE IS SOME LIGHT RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM EDGE AND TO A COUPLE OF CORNERS. THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR TEARS.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LOSS OF GLOSS AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF SCUFFS AND MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED BOTH SIDES AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY VERY GOOD+ THROUGHOUT, ALTHOUGH I DID HEAR SOME LIGHT BUT PERSISTENT SURFACE NOISE AND A FEW ODD LIGHT CLICKS. THERE IS NOTHING HORRIBLE,
THE LABELS
THE BLACK & SILVER CLEF LABELS BOTH HAVE A DEEP GRROVE. THE SIDE A LABEL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH SOME SLIGHT MARKS. THE SIDE B LABEL IS IN GOOD CONDITION, WITH DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE REMOVAL OF A STICKER OR SIMILAR.
