Vinyl on record one in very good++ condition and looks pretty clean, with just a small amount of very faint sleeve/shelf wear and a couple of very light scuffs. Record two in very good+ condition with just slightly more of the same wear as on record one.The records have obviously been played over the years as there are plenty of spindle marks, but not an excessive amount. Both play well with not too much deterioration in sound quality.
Sleeve in good condition - has probably been stored somewhere damp at some point as is very slightly crinkled and has a few areas of slight discolouring. Has average general wear and no spine splits. The main spine is partially scuffed and with slight dirt marks, although the title writing is still readable (just). A couple of slight marks on the front face probably where stickers have been removed. No writing or stickers anywhere.
Apart from spindle marks the labels are very clean with no writing or stickers.
Inner sleeve for record one in very good condition with some scuffing on edges but no splits. Record two inner sleeve in good condition - is similar to record one inner with no splits, but has some surface deterioration in places so has maybe got a little bit damp at some point.
Poster in good condition with areas of moderate damp damage, discolouring and dirt marks in parts, and partial splits on some of the folds.

All in all not a bad copy, just a shame the sleeve must have once got a bit damp.


I grade the condition according to UK standards.

Will be posted in strong professional packaging to avoid damage in transit.

I do combined postage rates if you are thinking of buying more than one item.
