I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  BOTH records also come in their ORIGINAL Black inners which are in AWESOME MINT condition - which is simply IMPOSSIBLE on this double LP!!!!  The Poster is in SUPERB condition with only VERY slight yellowing (barely ANY!) and the 4 Colour Inserts are simply AWESOME and dont EVER look to have left the cover!!!!
