THE SLEEVE

THE STUNNING PETER SAVILLE SLEEVE IS IN REALLY NICE EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND SOME MINOR DISCOLOURATION TO A COUPLE OF SMALL AREAS. THE EDGES ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT.

THE INNER SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL MARBLED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF MINOR WEAR.  

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE SOME SLIGHT MARKS AND ODD PRESSING PLANT FLAW. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS GREAT ALBUM AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT BOTH SIDES. I NOTED THE ODD NOISE NOW AND THEN BETWEEN TRACKS - NO DOUBT CAUSED BY THE TINY PRESSING PLANT FLAWS.
