LABELS: MINT-
Clean, unmarked labels with just a couple light spindle traces per side
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen - unmarked in normal light the surfaces display just superficial hairlines under bright light - these have no audible significance
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT+
Wonderful sound quality throughout - deep, rich and beautifully warm and my play-check at loud volume found little to fault - just some light, non-continuous clicks on 'Oh My Love', nothing else - still one of the finest copies I have heard in a long time
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
A very nice example of this thin first issue sleeve. Fully laminated, both surfaces have a deep, glass-like glossy sheen - no wear to the edges or spine - all spine text is clear and bold. There are some light shop creases to the extremities but nothing major
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
Unmarked with no seam splits - just some evidence of handling and age-related discolouration
POSTER: MINT-
The first issue poster (printed on thick textured paper) is clean and unmarked - never been hung - practically untouched
POSTCARD: MINT
Clean and unmarked and again, untouched - none of the common foxing present on the white back
