GATEFOLD SLEEVE is in good to very good condition,
with some light bend on some parts.
Banana sticker seems to have been removed at the beginning and re-put,
but is still in very good condition
Vinyl has a few lines, a very few ticks and pops, i've lsitened to check,
and there are not often at all...
Inner sleeve is cut on side, and bent, so vinyl is going through, but nothing important...
Remember it is 44 years old, and this version is very, very rare...
