LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Very few spindle traces to this copy - not been over-played at all.
There is some light 'foxing' to the picture label but it's very minor otherwise, clean and fresh
VINYL Visual: VERY GOOD++
The surfaces display some hairlines and brush marks - none of these have any real audio impact
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT(+)
Apart from a little surface noise on the quiet spooky piano intro to the title track it plays beautifully throughout - a great copy of this sensational piece of work and the finest playing copy I have heard in a long time (these are incredibly hard to find playing to a decent standard)
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD
The gatefold cover has the inevitable wear to the surfaces and edges but it's still a very fine example - good and solid with no structural damage

ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY ‘KNIFING’ DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH NEW ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
