LABELS: EXCELLENT
Clean, unmarked labels with moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: VERY GOOD
Both surfaces retain a nice shine but there are some prominent marks. All of theses are superficial, purely cosmetic and have no effect on the sound
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout with great sound quality.
A (very) occasional one-off tick noted and a light touch of low-level surface between some of the tracks but both are pretty minor.
Nothing else to fault
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The gatefold is in great shape with little wear to speak of, just a little light creasing to the extremities.
All edges are sharp and all text on the spine is clear and bold
LYRIC SHEET: VERY GOOD
The lyric sheet is clean and unmarked but it does have some creasing and a small (4cm) tear to the bottom fold.
All-in-all a really decent original, and complete copy
