THE SLEEVE

THE ICONIC FRONT LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THE LAMINATED FRONT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT RING WEAR AND JUST FOUR OR FIVE TINY WRINKLES. THERE IS JUST SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND MINOR TANNING TO THE REAR. ALL OF THE CORNERS & EDGES ARE PRISTINE WITH NO RUBBING AT ALL. THE SPINE IS NEARLY PERFECT - JUST ONE TINY WRINKLE AND ALL OF THE TEXT  IS FULLY LEGIBLE - IT WILL LOOK FANTASTIC ON YOUR RACK. THIS IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC SLEEVES OF ALL TIME.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS AND SCUFFS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO THIS CLASSIC ALBUM ON MY PROJECT RPM 4 AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT. THIS AWESOME DEBUT STILL SOUNDS MAGNIFICENT AND POSITIVELY SNARLS!!

THE LABELS

THE BLACK & SILVER BRUNSWICK LABELS, WITH THE GROOVES, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH PLENTY OF LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS. THERE IS NO SPINDLE WEAR.
