Condition of vinyl is excellent, there is just a some faint hairline scuffing from sleeve removal. It basically looks mint in normal light  but you can see the faint hairlines in sunlight. There are some marks left from my cleaning machine which is only a manual one so it would benefit from a professional clean to remove these. A really stunning copy cosmetically.
Labels are excellent, barely any spindle marks on it.
The original inner sleeve is Excellent just creasing on the corners.
Outer sleeve - VG+ although i've seen others listed as Excellent that are not as good as this. A few marks on the front that you can only see at an angle. Very slight ring wear on the back at the bottom, about 2" worth. The spine has been flattened and there's some wear top and bottom. Inner gatefold - it's pushed out a bit middle/top, maybe due to the spine being flattened but it's very clean, no staining or foxing at all. Overall it's in superb condition.
It's important to study the images carefully as they form an important part of the description.
This LP will be very carefully packaged for transit. UK recorded postage is: £6.00. Overseas shipping will vary but a generic £14.50 is listed but it may be more depending on where it is going and insurance.
Please bid with absolute confidence. There is a 100% money back guarantee on this item if you are not happy with your purchase.
