CONDITION: 

Record: VG . This record plays great with excellent dynamics. There are quite a few surface sleeve scuffs plus some very light hairline surface scratches but these do not affect playability. A small amount of background surface noise is heard between tracks and during the quiet passages.The album  still has very good gloss/sheen. Labels are very clean with no written biro or pen .

Cover:  VG . Cover in very good condition overall.   Ringwear and associated ink loss apparent on front and rear cover , slightly more so on the front (see scans). Psychedelic inner gatefold in excellent condition with vibrant colours and only a very small amount of ink rub and creasing. A cm diameter spot (price label removal?) on the top right hand of front cover. Corners, upper and lower edges and cover opening are a little rounded showing some ageing. Spine showing a small amount of wear with a few creases however artist, title and catalogue number are all very legible. The 'T' of 'VERTIGO' on the spine is missing due to paper rub/loss there. Rear cover with an inconspicuous 4mm tear on sleeve opening near the bottom. No pen or biro on either front or back cover. 

Good luck with your bidding!
