Cover
VERY GOOD +
Orignally supplied, possible due to a shop error with a stereo cover, this example has general age-toning and a faint watermark towards the lower right corner but no further significant faults. The corners are all unworn and the top opening edges have no tears or feathering. The inside of the gatefold is clean and undamaged as is the spine which is clearly and fully worded bearing just two small splits to the laminate. All seams are strong and unsplit and there is no writing or any other major faults anywhere.

Poster: EXCELLENT
Slight foxing but no tears or splits.
Inners: VERY GOOD +
Some smal tears around the centre holes but othwerwise flat, clean & undamaged.
