The vinyl has been stored separately from the gatefold sleeve in a protective inner/outer sleeve, helping to protect the original packaging.

The original gatefold sleeve is exceptionally well preserved and remains protected inside its plastic sleeve, as pictured.

Please study the photographs carefully. They show the actual record for sale and form part of the condition description.

Will be securely packaged for shipping, with the vinyl kept outside the outer sleeve to minimise the risk of seam splits in transit.
