Disc Grade: EXCELLENT!
The vinyl retains a strong deep gloss with only faint hairlines visible under strong light. Overall a fantastic looking disc, that plays with some light background noise that can be heard in lead-ins and quiet passages. No loud obtrusive pops or repeat clicks. Obviously no skips or sticks with this grade. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. No factory skip on 'Money' as was a problem with some 1st pressings.
Sleeve Grade: VERY GOOD PLUS!
The 1st version 'midnight blue' gatefold sleeve is in great condition with only mild storage wear. The spine is sharp, straight and unworn. Sharp unworn edges. Obviously no rips, splits, pen or stains throughout at this grade.
Inner: EXCELLENT! Light handling/wear.
Posters: Both EXCELLENT! No rips, stains, pen, or pin marks.
Postcard Stickers: Both 1st press 'Permanent' stickers are unused and EXCELLENT PLUS!
