Record cleaned and play tested in full on my Michell Gyrodec. The LP plays and sounds fantastic. No pops, skips, jumps or clicks. Plays exactly as expected based on visual grading. Great sounding LP and really enjoyable listening experience. Stereo Dawn recording retains great sound quality / reproduction and pressing is super.
Visually Inspected under very bright spot lights. I have cleaned both sides on my new machine and by hand thoroughly. Both sides retain a lovely bright gloss shine. Only very light hairlines to surface visible in bright light. No deep marks, scuffs or scratches. No 'feelable' marks. All sides are Near Mint.

Beautifully illustrated [John Patrick Byrne] gatefold sleeve is in high EX+ condition approaching NM. There is minimal storage wear. Very clean inside and out. The spine is solid, not worn, text readable. Inner gatefold has very very very light foxing visible to top but this is very minimal. Bottom corner has very light bumping. No creases, splits, rips, tears, writing or stains - just a super high EX grade copy.
The original lined inner sleeves have age related browning at edges but minimal wear, no splits or writing and grades EX.
Beautiful John Patrick Byrne Tri-fold poster has been stored inside the sleeve from new, no pin marks, writing or damage. A few foxing spots to rear of poster - grades near mint.
