In keeping with its once played status my play-check at volume found little to fault. There is a touch of interference on "Fruit Tree" and the odd static tick (incredibly minor) but I take these to be pressing issues as there are no marks on the record - a common occurrence with mid 1980s pressings onwards as vinyl sales went into decline and record companies priorities lay elsewhere.
Otherwise, plays perfectly with a deep, rich, warm and crystal clear sound - in essence, just like a brand new copy
SLEEVE: MINT
The sleeve is as clean, sharp and fresh as the day it was made
INNER SLEEVE: MINT
Again, as-new - no seam splits or wear or even any sign it's been handled
