ABOUT THIS COPY:
SHVL 814 A 1 SHVL 814 B 3
LOW MOTHER INDICATORS = 3 AND 1
The outer sleeve is excellent. A little rubbing top rear, a lovely spine, beautifully pinched corners
The original 'top opening' 3 corner cut card inner with lyrics is almost immaculate. There is a little nick on the top one side , and slight rubbing one side - no grubby handling marks, see all photos for a clear idea...
THE POSTCARD WITH JAGGED EDGES IS PRESENT! - often missing and this one is on as new condition, really glossy and no marks/rips or writing - see photos
The labels both sides are clean and mark free, a little light creasing right at the centre hole and a slight nick on side 2, is the only sign of past use
The vinyl looks in great condition. On side one there are some marks on the outer rim and a couple of small visible marks about half way through and leading into the last section. They did not impact the playback.
On side two there are a few scuff marks visible, probably from taking it in and out of the sleeve, again, no impact noticed on the playback.
IT IS A GREAT LISTEN - sounds really powerful and brilliant - nobody could be disappointed with it. I detected a couple of small pops side one and some very faint crackle on start of title track.
More vinyl listed, please take a look, happy to combine orders for UK buyers
