A SIDE

Looks in EX+ condition with a few light surface hairlines.  Very light background noise on run in and in between tracks, just audible on quietest sections. Audio is excellent throughout with superb tone (particularly rich on the bass frequencies) and nice and loud! Plays as EX to EX+. One of the nicest copies I've seen for a while.

 

B SIDE

Just the same as the A side, just superficial light hairlines with minimal effect on playback. Plays very nicely right through, a tad better than A side, light background crackle only. Plays as EX+.

 

OUTER SLEEVE

Sleeve is in EX+ condition. Most are trashed, this is in very nice condition with a lovely sheen to the laminated front and rear. Very slight wear to edges. Spine is lovely and square and prefctly legible. Inner gatefold is in MINT- condition. Superb.

 

LABELS

Labels are EX+ with a few spindle traces visible, no graffiti.

 

INNER SLEEVE

Plain white poly lined.
