THE SLEEVE

THE ICONIC TEXTURED PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND A MINOR BRUISE TO THE BOTTOM LEFT-HAND CORNER. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL RUB MARKS TO THE BOTTOM EDGE. OTHERWISE THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE WHITE TEXT ON THE NEAR PERFECT BLACK SPINE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THIS IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THIS ICONIC SLEEVE 

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE ILLUSTRATED BLACK & WHITE INNER SLEEVE, WITH TRACK LISTING DETAILS, IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH A 2-INCH SPLIT TO THE BOTTOM EDGE AND THE START OF A MUCH SMALLER SPLIT TO THE TOP EDGE. THERE IS SOME TANNING AND SIGNS OF HANDLING.

THE VINYL

THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS AND A SCUFF ON SIDE ONE WHICH DOES NOT AFFECT PLAY. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO EVERY TRACK ON BOTH SIDES AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.

THE LABELS

THE ICONIC BLACK & WHITE LABELS, WHICH MATCH THE SLEEVE ARTWORK, ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS AND A FEW SMUDGE MARKS ON THE BLACK LABEL.
