On 02-Sep-10 at 13:57:01 BST, seller added the following information:Due to some mails with approx. the same content of questions: This is not a MINT or NEAR MINT copy and I did my best to describe it as accurate as possible. 21st Century Schizoid Man, Epitaph and the title track play without any problems. I talk to the wind starts clean but crackling heats up a bit towards the middle section, you can here some clicks on the left and right channel. Moonchild plays with background crackling (not permanent) but this piece has so many nearly quiet moments revealing this crackling a bit more dominant that I would grade this track VG+ only. The record neither has jumps, nor sticks or repeats. I did not hesitate to play it on my system equipped with a very expensive and sensitive pick-up cartridge in the 2000 GBP league. If you need an "as new" copy this one is not for you.
