Condition: Both black 12-inch vinyl LPs grade visually around VG+ with generally glossy surfaces under light and scattered light sleeve scuffs and fine hairline marks on all sides together with small dust specks that would benefit from a gentle cleaning before play; no deep scratches, warps, cracks, or edge chips are visible and the cream AFM center labels remain fully legible with light spindle wear and tiny foxing spots but no writing or added stickers. Gatefold cardboard jacket also grades visually around VG+ with mild overall surface rubbing and gloss loss to the front and back photos, a faint ring-wear shadow, light age toning, and moderate corner and edge wear including small tip rubs and short spine and opening-edge rubs, while the red British Rock obi strip is present with minor edge wear and small handling creases as shown. This vinyl has not been play tested, graded visually.
