BEAUTIFUL VINYL - NO SCRATCHES, SCUFFS OR MARKS. DEEP BLACK SHINY LUSTRE - IN NATURAL LIGHT LOOKS NEW.
WHEN EXAMINED UNDER BRIGHT HALOGEN LIGHT AND ROTATED SOME VERY FINE SLEEVE REMOVAL TRACES ARE EVIDENT. THESE CANNOT BE FELT AND ARE REALLY HARD TO SEE UNLESS YOU EXAMINE UNDER A HALOGEN LAMP. I MUST EMPHASISE THESE TRACES ARE MINOR AND MENTIONED FOR COMPLETENESS.
THE VINYL HAS NO PRESS REMARKS AND THE DEAD-WAX GAS A MIRROR / GLASSY SHINE - IT LOOKS STUNNING .

THE FRONT LAMINATE IS INTACT AND ADDS A SHINY APPEARANCE. THERE IS NO LIFTING OF THE LAMINATE. THERE IS CREASING ON THE SPINE AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES.
THE SPINE IS READABLE.
THERE IS NO WRITING, RIPS OR STICKER MARKS ANYWHERE..
THERE IS LIGHT RINGWEAR TO THE FRONT AND SOME TO THE REAR TOP LEFT AREA.
THE REAR HAS A BAND OF LAMINATE ABOUT 10MM THICK ON ALL EDGES. THIS IS NOT A TAPE REPAIR.IT IS PART OF THE ORIGINAL WAY THE COVER WAS PRINTED.
THE OPENING EDGING OF THE COVER IS QUITE SHARP AND DOES NOT GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF ALOT OF USE.
PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOGRAPHS
IN CONCLUSION - A RARE COPY OF THIS ICONIC BOWIE ALBUM - THE VINYL IS OUTSTANDING AND WILL NOT DISAPPOINT.
