THE CONTROVERSIAL, STILL STICKERED, PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING AND A FEW SLIGHT MARKS. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND NO TEARS.

THE CONTROVERSIAL INNER SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH SIGNS OF HANDLING AND SOME CREASING. IN THE PHOTO I HAVE CENSORED THE PICTURE OF THE MODEL. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND NO TEARS.

VISUALLY THE BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS CLASSIC LP AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. I ONLY NOTED A FEW TINY TICKS VERY EARLY INTO TRACK ONE ON SIDE TWO. I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING AND THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY A TINY FLAW
