Side 1 Matrix : 2yea 460-1

Side 2 Matrix : 2yea 459-2

Vinyl has scratches and marks both sides, have played record all the way through both sides, disc plays ok but there are defects. Two skips on side 2 and crackling throughout.

Side 1 there is click in track 2 on side A for several revolutions and another one about halfway through on the same track but for less revolutions. A couple of pop about 2/3 way through 3rd/ final track on side 1.

Side 2 there is a click from about a 3rd of the way through first track and there is a small skip in among the mark that produces the click, there is a mark that you can feel on the disc at this point, it may still be improved with a clean and a different deck, the one is was using is a good but fairly basic Sony PS-LX300H. Whilst I was checking the playback of this disc I had to keep stopping to clean fluff off of the stylus. The Click is there again towards end of first track. Goes away and then comes back again later in the track. A click for several revolutions around middle of track 2, goes away after a good number of revolutions , and then returns again in the final 3rd. Track 3 has clicks from the start and there is a small skip from the feelable mark that makes the click. Also a loud click at very end of 3rd track I think it is possibly the end of a scratch that is there.

There is crackling throughout, I have not cleaned disc at all for fear of marking further. Disc is nice and flat

Side 1 Vinyl : G (no skips or jumps, there are scratches and marks and some pops, I have not cleaned this skip at all, there is crackling

Side 2 Vinyl : F (there is a small skip in 1st and 3rd tracks and some clicks and crackling through, a clean would improve but I don’t know how much)

Labels : G+ ( some light wear to labels, more on side 2 label see photos

Sleeve: G+ ( wear to opening edge side, wear to corners spine is pretty good, some discolouration in the laminated flip back on the rear, front is pretty good, some creases in the laminate along bottom and spine edges, wear to corners

Inner sleeve/ Liner is the one which came with this disc and I presume it is the original one. It has some age related discolouration and some creases

Not a perfect example of this release but a hard one to find in any condition.
