VINYL(sound quality) : EX Really fantastic clear sound throughout.Absolutely no jumps,repetitive clicks/ticks etc. Maybe one or two barely audible pops on side one.
VINYL (visual quality) : EX I very rarely give a record an EX for visual quality but I will for this one.I've looked again and again under different light(ie daylight,strong lamplight) but can't see any problems.All I can see is the odd very fine paper mark(ie from taking the record in and out of the sleeve ) otherwise I would have given it EX+ for visual quality.
OUTER SLEEVE : VG + This is a gatefold sleeve with a hole shaped a bit like a keyhole in it's centre (die cut hole I think it's referred to as).The sleeve is in very good + condition with no pen marks,sticker residue or tears(save for a very tiny tear about 3mm long at the bottom of the 'keyhole'-see picture).There are one or two creases and there is a little bit of ringwear but nothing major.The mouth of the cover(where the record goes in and out) is in good condition but does show a few signs of wear.But certainly no rips!The inside of the cover looks to be in VG+ condition also save for one or two minor creases towards a corner and the edges of the cover.The inside cover contains sleeve notes and a very good picture of an active volcano.(Sleeve was designed by Roger Dean)
INNER SLEEVE : VG + The inner sleeve has the swirl design on both sides and is cellophane lined.It is completely intact,no rips ,tears or writing etc.There is a very small ammount of what I will call 'old glue lift' to one side of the edge of the inner sleeve ( where it folds over on itself) but only for about half an inch or so , it's very minor and could be easily stuck back down if so desired .As I stated ther are no rips in the sleeve( not even on it's edges) it's just a little faded over time . It's not too creased and there isn't much sign of ring wear.
SPINE(of the outer sleeve) VG : Writing and label name/serial number all clearly visible though spine is slightly flattened in parts.
LABELS : EX Labels to both sides are in excellent condition .Side A has the swirl design and no info save for 'Side A' printed at the top .Side B contains the track listing and a smaller black swirl design over a white background.No writing ,smudges or smears,no scuffs and no tears.Hardly any sign of spindle marks.There is a very small ammount of slight roughness (to the touch) under a very small part of the Side A label (ie the swirl side) which seems to have been there from manufacture as it is under the label,but it is really hardly noticeable visually.
NUMBER IN RUN OFF GROOVE: Side A- 6360008 1Y//2(then an upside down triangle)420 11 5
Side B- 6360008 2Y//1(then an upside down triangle)420 11 3
