OUTER SLEEVE:
Original matt finish outer sleeve, featuring the work of Roger Dean
The sleeve remains in excellent condition, with just a hint of rub on it.the spine remains clearly visible and un-crushed.
Due to the materials used in the construction and the finish, this sleeve rarely survived without some sort of ringware or marking of some kind.
This textured outer sleeve has spent it’s entire life protected by a thick plastic dust cover. INNER SLEEVE:
Inner is the original green inner that was issued with this album at the time of it’s release, no unwanted writing has been scribbled on any part of the complete package.
LABEL:
Original, Atlantic Green and Orange labels, (this album was never pressed on the Plum and orange label, but first pressings were of a darker Green and Orange ) any signs of play are at a minimum, very little, if any visible spindle ware. No scuffing staining or unwanted names.
Visual: Vinyl Condition:
Both sides of the vinyl are visually excellent very little marking of any kind, perhaps just some slight signs of sleeve removal. and retaining a very high gloss sheen to both A & B sides.
Again see my pictures, any marks are all strictly from shadows when pictures were taken.
PLAY GRADING:
The entire album plays beautifully.
There were some slight clicks here and there, but remember this album dose have some very quiet parts in the songs.
No jumps or skipping when play graded.
The album with the 1st press matrix and the texture sleeve has now become a serious colecters piece
As stated, visually the vinyl looks Very good / Excellent.
