This sleeve is in very good condition Bit of light handling creases to spine and small light stain to bottom left corner. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on each label and there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in really good shape with no major issues to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean overall with nothing remotely serious visible in normal light.  I have graded as EX which I think is fair and accurate. Overall the record is in excellent playable condition with no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes and a lovely vivid lustre. 

I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded really nice throughout. It lays perfectly flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is of excellent quality with little to no surface noise audible. There was a slight trace of static crackle in the run in and maybe a minute amount in the intros but nothing at all major and on the whole it is crisp, clear and dynamic. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and overall it was a pleasure to play test and it produced audio of good quality throughout.

It contains its original picture inner which is in very good condition with a small 3cm seam split, but no tears or pen marks.

I hope my 12 photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. Any faults to note have been highlighted in the photos
