Cover picture gatefold sleeve is in very good to excellent condition on both sides, with some minimal scuffing wear, top middle front, with also some minimal curved shaped scuffing wear, top middle reverse. Spine corners have minor wear. Inner insert paper sleeves are also in very good condition, with a few minor creases, and some age related discolouring, causing the paper to have a crisp brittle feel. However overall good examples.
Both vinyl discs are in very good to excellent condition, with all 4 sides playing superbly with normal minor crackle and little sign of wear. Though there is some extra crackle, side 2 between end of track 2 (Science Friction-XTC) and the start of track 3 (Eastbound Train-Dire Straits). There is also on side 2, with what looks like a water mark smudge, though this does not affect output play.
Side 4 has some noticeable crackle and hiss at the start of track 1 (Underground Romance-Philip Rambow), this disperses a few bars into the track, leaving a low level hiss, however once again this does not affect the output quality of play.
Black & White insert info sheet printed on both sides with track, band and vinyl side listings is in excellent crisp condition with a minimal side crease.
The 'Warner Bros.Records' Albion labels are looking great on all 4 sides in good vivid colour.
Runoff groove on side 1 is etched with "PORKY", Runoff groove on side 2 is etched with "PECKO", Runoff groove on side 3 is etched with "PORKY" and Runoff groove on side 2 is etched with "PORKY"
