Condition

THE SLEEVE

THE UN-LAMINATED, HEAVY GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS GENERAL WEAR TO FRONT AND BACK OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS GENERAL SCUFFING TO THE EDGES AND THE CORNERS. THERE IS A SMALL AREA OF DAMAGE WHERE A PRICE STICKER WAS ONCE CLUMSILY REMOVED. THERE ARE TWO MORE SMALL AREAS OF DAMGE ON THE BACK IN THE TWO LEFT-HAND CORNERS - SEE PHOTO. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR AND ANOTHER COUPLE OF SMALL AREAS OF SCUFFED DAMAGE. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND THERE ARE NO TEARS TO THE EDGES.  ALL OF THE TEXT ON THE WIDE SPINE IS STILL LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE PLENTY OF LIGHT MARKS AND SCUFFS. THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT ALTHOUGH I DID MAKE THE FOLLOWING NOTES: SIDE ONE - I NOTED SOME LIGHT CRACKLES AND SOME REPEATING CLICKS DURING TRACK 2. I ALSO NOTED A FEW LIGHT TICKS DURING TRACK 3. SIDE TWO - I NOTED SOME LIGHT TICKS AND SURFACE CRACKLES DURING BOTH TRACKS. I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT BOTH SIDES PLAYED THROUGH WITH NO JUMPS AND DID NOT STICK ANYWHERE. THIS WAS AN ENJOYABLE LISTEN TO A VERY RARE ALBUM.

THE LABELS

THE PINK LABELS, WITH THE LARGE WHITE i LOGOs, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SPINDLE MARKS AND A TINY BIT OF WEAR.

Overall this is an Great copy of this Rare Collectible Classic
