CONDITION (vinyl/cover)

EX+ (lovely shiny copy with light use only and just a few light sleeve removal marks seen under strong angled light; one more prominent sleeve mark runs across the first three tracks of side 2 but thankfully does not affect the audio in any significant way; I listened to the album in full and can confirm the audio is superb throughout, just 3 noticeable ticks in a quiet part of The Prophet's Song, otherwise it plays beautifully throughout with no crackle or significant surface noise; visual grade is EX, audio grade is NEAR MINT)

/ EX+ (embossed gatefold sleeve; this is one of the best examples of this easily worn sleeve I have ever seen; very solid and clean with bright uncreased surfaces and sharp unworn edges; there is inevitably some mild ageing/storagewear to the white colour but this is not immediately noticeable; there is one small finger mark at the bottom of the front cover; inside the gatefold is perfect; spine/edges near perfect; the rear again has the slightest storage wear to white; overall this is an amazingly well-preserved example)

1st issue inner sleeve with 3 cut corners is EX - it has a 3" split in the middle of bottom seam but is otherwise in perfect condition
