THE COVER   is in overall very good condition.

The front:    some wear along left hand and bottom edges.  Slight wear on corners. A couple of wrinkles in the laminate. The bottom right corner edge has come unglued from the inside

The spine:   clean, undamaged

The back:   a few wrinkles in the laminate and an area of approximately 12 cm by 2.5 cm near the top left by the spine where the laminate has lifted but is undamaged. The bottom left edge has come unglued for about 3 cm.

The inside:   near mint condition

THE VINYL:  spindle marks on both sides. I've played it all the way through on both sides and there are no jumps or sticking points, plays really well.  There are some sleeve scuffs - more on side 1 than side 2.  There is some surface crackle on Side 2 Track 2.

*****
The Fool were a Dutch art/design/music collective who had a tremendous impact on London psychedelic scene between 1967 and 1968.
The group was named in reference to The Fool tarot card.   Although mostly known for their work with The Beatles, they also designed stage clothes and album covers for Cream, The Move and Incredible String Band.   They also designed clothes and interiors for various films and theatre performances and they even recorded an album.   The Beatles were such fans of their work, that they left them in charge of their Apple Boutique.

The Fool consisted of Marijke Koger, Simon Posthuma, Yosha Leeger and Englishman Barry Finch - Leeger's fiancee. Koger was a 'leader' of the group.
