LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, bright and unmarked labels
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT/EXCELLENT+
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen. There are some marks, mostly pressing blemishes within the vinyl itself but none of these have any significant audible impact
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT/EXCELLENT+
Apart from a touch of surface between some of the track it plays beautifully with little to fault - just a few soft background ticks on 'Paradise' - very minor otherwise, sounds fantastic with an incredibly strong, crystal clear, bright and loud cut
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD+
The original thick card matt cover is clean and unmarked with no splits, just some rubbing to the colour on the edges and spine (but the spine text is still mostly readable) and the remains on the back of the original owners library sticker (long gone). Overall, a pretty fine example of one of these original US untreated sleeves
