..Condition   ..1) Disc :   ..Vinyl - Visual :   Side 1 Very Good Plus . Occasional light scratches and surface marks. Side 2 excellent  
..Vinyl - Audio :   Excellent. Plays much better than visual grading occasional background noise.
Due to the difficulty in discribing how a record plays / sounds I have invested in the appropiate systems to allow you to listen to the record in full, thus you can decide the play condition of the vinyl. I would judge this record as excelllent plus, but listen and draw your own conclusions. But note recording process reduces everything down to a two track, this allows all background noise to be heard, but does not give a true realisation of the full rich sound of the vinyl itself.            
..Sleeve :   Excellent minus. The original delicate cover is also in excellent condition withjust a little wear to corners. no edge or spine splits and spine with all text clear and bold (see pictures).
