Condition is excellent. The sleeve is clean and crisp with no significant tears, no seam splits and hardly any shelf wear. The only slight problem is a number of little chips along the spine and some slight creasing and wear of the corners. The unlaminated part of the rear sleeve is very slightly discoloured.
The vinyl is in excellent condition with no scratches, scuffs or abrasions. Playback is unaffected by any ticks, clicks or crackles; surface noise is low and there is no noticeable distortion and no jumps or skips. Sound quality is exceptional with cleanly extended frequency extremes and wonderful instrumental separation.
