GRADINGS:
SLEEVE:
I grade this as VG++ if not EX!
It is the original E.J. Day cover.
The Spine is in great condition and the writing on the spine is very clear.
The rear of the sleeve shows a sticker where the distributor has been taken over, thus the new label put on.
The white background is still sharp and the colours have not faded.
The title for track 3 is 'Celebration Day' where on the vinyl it states that it is 'Celebration'.
The rotating wheel is in perfect working order.
VINYL:
I am grading this as VG++/Ex
