THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED HEAVY GATEFOLD PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND SOME VERY MINOR RUBBING TO A COUPLE OF THE EDGES. THERE IS A SMALL DRILLED HOLE TOWARDS THE TOP RIGHT-HAND CORNER.  OTHERWISE ALL OF THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT AND ALL OF THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS FULLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE GLOSSY, BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS WONDERFUL RECORD AND THE SOUND QUALITY WAS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT, WITH JUST SOME VERY SLIGHT & OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISE.
