Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
Vinyls: EX. Look superbly clean on visual inspection. Only one or two tiny surface scuffs on side 4 but all other sides are unmarked. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is fantastic throughout. Very light surface noise at run-ins. Sides 1 and 4 paired on record 1, sides 2 and 3 paired on record 2. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking.
Outer Sleeve (Cover): VG. Colours clear and unfaded. Thick cardboard laminated gatefold sleeve with fantastic artwork and bound-in insert booklet. Slight yellowing to cover. Corners and spine in great shape. Edges show no obvious wear. Minor dents and dimples in top right of cover and long diagonal crease in bottom left. Reverse outer gate lightly stained in top left corner and the odd crease. Inner gate flipbacks present and attached fully. Booklet complete with just light foxing on most pages towards bottom and outer edge. Great example overall.
Inner Sleeves: EX. Original. White poly-lined paper with squared corners and central hole. Handling instructions printed in purple on one side. Some folds and crimping but intact.
