CONDITION (vinyl/cover)
Discs: EX+ (all 3 discs are great quality and look hardly-played with the labels showing very little sign of play; record surfaces are glossy and clean with just a few slight surface marks and no significant scratches or wear; I have played all 3 in full and can confirm audio is superb throughout; side A has a few minor background crackles near the start but other than that the audio across all 6 sides grades NR MINT and most sides play mint; side F label has a small 'b' written on it, presumably to indicate the b-side, otherwise labels in great condition with no writing, stickers or tears)
/ Metal Tin: VG+ (above-average example with the usual bit of tarnishing/oxidisation to the outside while still retaining the silver colour; lid inside has a few smudges, inside base of tin is very shiny and near perfect; tin retains its original shape with no bad dents and fits together as it should; original catalogue number sticker still present on base)
4 paper divider inserts are clean and just have some minor creasing VG+ to EX
Tracklisting/credits insert is EX
