"True first pressing"
Vinyl:
Nice VG. Maintains a nice shine with a few visible light surface marks each side. These on the whole do not affect play. Playtest showed some audible crackle in between tracks and in quieter passages. I did not notice any obvious repeating clicks. Obviously no skips or jumps either. Overall I'd say it would place itself at the higher end of VG if not pushing into VG+ to some.
See video attached to listen to "Blackbird" on side 2.
Sleeve:
Nice VG+ See photos. Only shows minor discolouration and yellowing due to age. Some minor creasing and rubbing to edges also. See photos. Inner gatefold is nice and clean. Solid VG+
Inserts:
Both black inners present. VG+ Structurally intact with only minor damage to the lip of the openings. See photos.
Poster is present and in decent condition. Annoyingly a previous owner has written the names of band members next to their songs on the backside of the poster. I believe this is in pencil though and does not show through to the front and may be erasable. See
