Comes in original plain white inner, partially split on 2 sides with some age-rleated browning.
Played through Rega/Ortofon/Naim kit
Vinyl VG+ with the exception of what is described below.There are some crackles on the quiet parts as you'd expect. But it just adds to the authenticity. This is the first time I have played the LP after owning it for 20 years.
Side 1.There is a scratch covering tracks 1 and 2. Apart from a few crackles it is not noticeable.
Side 2. There is a scratch that covers tracks 1-4. It produces a click but no jumps. By the time Communication Breakdown kicks in it's not noticeable. There is another scratch covering tracks 1 & 2 which I could not hear.
Apart from these blemishes the vinyl is in great shape.
Sleeve VG+Stereo. No writing or tears. Orange promo sticker complete - with no attempt to peel. Unlaminated. 2 corners a litle knocked. See pictures.
I have tried to include as much information as possible here - but the bottom line is that this is a tremendous sounding example of this all-time classic rock album that paved the way.
Please note regarding dispatchWill be posted from the UK on 20th May if payment is received within 48 hours of auction end. Otherwise it will be posted on June 2nd.
