Sleeve: EXCELLENT!
The sleeve looks fantastic. Bright and creamy white. The front and back retain their glossy sheen with no ring wear. The edges are sharp and unworn. The spine is fully readable with some corner wear. The low number still retains its original print contrast. There are no stains. Overall it is a superb condition sleeve so often stained and marked, even rarer with such a low number, around the 2500 mark!
Disc One: VERY GOOD PLUS!
When viewed under direct halogen spotlight the record is super glossy with some light surface marks visible. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. It plays with some light background surface noise in quiet parts. No skips or sticks obviously with this grade. The labels are nice and clean.
Disc Two: VERY GOOD PLUS!
When viewed under direct halogen spotlight the record is super glossy with some light surface marks visible. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. It plays with some light background surface noise in quiet parts. No skips or sticks obviously with this grade. The labels are nice and clean.
Inners: VERY GOOD PLUS!
The original and very delicate black die-cut paper inners have mild age-related wear.
Poster: EXCELLENT!
Original double-sided poster is clean with light signs of wear, no rips, stains or pen.
Photos: NEAR MINT!
