CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
All are in immaculate with only an incredibly small amount of spindle wear.
Visual: VERY GOOD
All sides have small scratches and imperfections. The vinyl still retains most of its gloss, and shines in natural light.
Sound Quality: VERY GOOD
The sound is rich and warm. The sound reproduction that comes from the thick vinyl of these early UK pressings is virtually unmatched by all other forms of players. That being said, the imperfections on the vinyl do cause some pops and background noise that disturb the playing slightly. Note that some tracks are slightly worse than others.
Cover: VERY GOOD
This is a first issue cover with a flip-in sleeve, and top opening pockets. There is slight wear and dirtiness present, rounded corners, and some yellowing. It is however, still solid with no seam splits.
The gatefold has some foxing and dirtiness, and the area around the spine is bent slightly.The spine has been opened many times in the past, and is quite bent and worn. The lettering is still visible, but it has faded.
Poster: VERY GOOD
The poster still looks great, but it has a few creases, and has been opened and closed a few times. There are a couple small tears as well.
Four Original Photos: VERY GOOD PLUS
The photographs look terrific, however, they were at one point hung up with scotch tape, and each one has residue around their corners.
Inner Sleeves: GOOD PLUS
Both are creased, and they are both split on the sides.
