THE SLEEVE HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS AND I CAN ONLY GRADE IT AS BEING IN FAIR+ CONDITION. THE SLEEVE IS INTACT BUT THERE IS A SPLIT AT THE LOWER EDGE WHICH MEASURES 3". THERE ARE ALSO TEARS TO THE OPENING, WHICH IS FEATHERED. THE MAIN TEAR MEASURES 2" AND THE OTHER THREE TEARS ARE VERY MINOR. THE SLEEVE IS SHOWING SIGNS OF RING WEAR. THE FRONT LAMINATION HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES – SEE PHOTO. THERE IS NO MAJOR CREASING TO THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE. THE REAR IS DISCOLOURED AND SHOWS SIGNS OF THE LAMINATION CRACKING ON THE FLIPBACKS. SOMEONE HAS ALSO INSCRIBED A SMALL NEAT CROSS AGAINST SIX OF THE TRACKS. THERE ARE NO OTHER INSCRIPTIONS.
THE VERY GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS BRILLIANTLY. IT IS IN VERY GOOD- CONDITION. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND PAPER SCUFFS BUT NONE INTERFERE WITH PLAYBACK. THE VINYL NEEDS A PROPER CLEAN, WHICH I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE VERY LIGHT CRACKLE ON THE INTRO, OUTRO AND BETWEEN TRACKS.
THE ORIGINAL SOUTH AFRICAN BLACK AND SILVER LABELS (JUST LIKE A UK BLACK & GOLD LABEL!!) ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I CANNOT SEE ANY SPINDLE MARKING AND ONLY THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF WEAR.
THIS RECORD IS NOT IN MINT CONDITION BUT IS STILL A HUGELY COLLECTABLE RECORD. I AM STARTING THIS LP AT A LOW START PRICE AND WITH NO RESERVE. IT WILL FIND ITS TRUE VALUE WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM ME!! THIS IS POTENTIALLY THE ONLY TIME YOU WILL SEE THIS RECORD THIS YEAR.
