Record is NEAR MINT the vinyl is unmarked, nice black sheen, with just a couple of spindle marks on the record label visable in strong light only, it does not look like a 41-year old record.
PLAYTEST
The LP plays superbly, with no pops,bangs,jumping or sticking, with just some slight background noise in some of the quieter moments, .
COVER
The cover is VG+, and is an unlaminated textured cover.
There is no noticeable ringwear on the front and back cover.
The front and back faces of the cover are excellent, apart from a postage stamp sized area on the top right of the front cover where a sticker was removed - see picture.
There is wear on the corners and edges. The spine has spots of wear that affect some of the lettering.
Please see my feedback on selling LPs over the last couple of years.
The record will be packed in a stiff package specifically designed for sending vinyl throught the post, with added protection on the corners
