📊 Condition Assessment
Vinyl – Excellent (close to Near Mint)
The record retains a deep gloss with minimal signs of play. Playback is clean, open, and powerful, reflecting careful ownership rather than frequent use. A standout copy sonically.
Sleeve – Excellent
The original gatefold sleeve presents extremely well, with sharp structure, no barcode, and the original sticker still firmly attached — a detail often missing even on strong copies.
Inner Sleeve
Correct original black inner sleeve included.
Overall, a well‑above‑average survivor of this title.

💬 Collector’s Perspective
UK first pressings of The Final Cut in true EX / near‑NM condition, with correct matrices and original sticker, are increasingly scarce. This example offers condition, correctness, and completeness, making it well suited to collectors seeking a premium copy rather than an upgrade project.
📘 Condition Guide
Excellent (EX)
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG)
The record has obviously been played many times and may have slight deterioration in sound quality, noticeable surface marks, and the occasional light scratch. Sleeve will have wear and tear expected for its age.
Good (G)
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with distortion and scratches. The cover and contents suffer from significant folding, scuffing of edges, discoloration, etc.
