THIS STUNNING VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND DOES DISPLAY A GENUINE AS PRESSED APPEARANCE.
AUDIO IS FLAWLESS.... DELIVERING A FAULTLESS PERFORMANCE THROUGHTOUT, AUDIO IS CLEAR, CRISP AND UNINTERRUPTED WITH NO DISTORTION PRESENT..... QUITE SUPERB.
THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT BLACK INNER IS EXCELLENT WITH JUST LIGHT BUT EXPECTED CREASES AND SIGNS OF HANDLING.

WHEN ANGLED IN A CERTAIN LIGHT THE FRONT DISPLAYS JUST LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES AND TWO SMALL "THUMBNAIL" CREASES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE FRONT RETAINS ITS DEEP GLOSS AND SHEEN. THERE IS JUST THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF WEAR EVIDENT TO OPENING EDGE BUT THIS IS NOT SEVERE AND THE EDGE IS STRAIGHT. THERE IS NO EDGE WEAR PRESENT. THE REAR IS VIRTUALLY CREASE FREE AND LIKE THE FRONT RETAINS ITS DEEP GLOSS. THE SPINE IS FIRM AND RIGID WITH NO CREASES OR WEAR AND ALL WORDING IS READBALE. THE SLEEVE DISPLAYS DEEP AND VIBRANT COLOURING WITH STRONG AND BOLD LETTERING.
