Playback / Vinyl Condition:
Play-tested through both sides. VG/VG+ playback overall — a few occasional pops are present, but otherwise the sound is clean and enjoyable throughout.
Vinyl has visible light surface marks and hairlines from age and use, as shown in the photos. These look more significant under direct lighting than they generally present during playback.
Cover / Booklet:
Original textured gatefold cover presents nicely for its age with some expected edge, corner and surface wear. Interior artwork remains attractive.
The original bound-in booklet is present and complete, with the lyrics, credits and Elton John/Bernie Taupin photography.
A nice complete example of the original 1971 U.S. release, with the desirable elaborate packaging intact and solid playback despite the visible surface wear.
Please review all photos for the exact cosmetic condition and included contents.
Shipping: Record will be shipped in a new Mylar outer sleeve, protected with rigid cardboard and carefully packed with appropriate cushioning materials — no shipping bags — to best help ensure it arrives in the condition as shown.
