The Vinyl: Visually it looks Unplayed has only actually been played very carefully 2-3 times and looks very close to being in Mint condition -Vinyl looks flawless - On close inspection both Vinyl sides look unmarked and perfect - Shows No actual scratches not even any hairlines - On playback assessment there are No skips, jumps or repeats with No other annoying noise distortions during the Audio test play - Apart from the occasional very light static crackle may be evident during some of the quieter songs but nothing that spoils your overall enjoyment of this superb Album and shows absolutely NO other annoying  noise deffects or distortions - Labels are both  in near Perfect condition - Vinyl still has all it's Original lustre and Jet  black shiny glossy sheen 

On the recent Playback assessment the Record still Plays Fantastic with all it's Original Dynamic and amazing original clear sound clarity with the sheer quality of sound that is produced along with the fantastic stereo production that just fills the room  Just as you would expect from the Very 1st Pressing!

 The Front/Back of Covers/Spine: Are virtually all in Near Mint condition all totally intact crisp and clean with nice straight sharp edges - Shows all it's Original Vibrant Clear Bold Sharp Colours on the Front and Back and Inside - All writing down the wide spine is Excellent bold clear and legible - Absolutely NO tears,splits,ink marks or stickers - If being Ultra critical there is the very lightest of corner bumps and some very very minimal light edge ware obtained during the storage process over it's 32 year lifetime - Overall a Superb looking Copy in near Perfect Condition - This is mainly due to the plastic cover protection on Album since Day One! - Probably would be very hard to find a better copy!     

Labels: On examination there is very little evidence of vinyl being played with only the very lightest of any spindle traces detectable - Both labels showing to be in excellent condition with NO ink marks,blemishes or any other wear

Inner Sleeve:The original thick cardboard Black/White Lyric inner sleeve in Excellent Condition and  shows only very  minimal light edge wear with some very very small and minimal light surface creases - Fantastic  Looking for it's age - NO tears,Splits Ink markings or other blemishes
