OK NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT STUFF CONDITION

I TRY TO BE AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE BUT PLEASE REMEMBER CONDITION IS AN INDIVIDUAL OPINION.

HERE GOES;

SLEEVE - I WOULD HAVE TO GRADE AS FAIR TO GOOD DUE TO THE FACT IT HAS MULTIPLE CREASES, IT HAS A TEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM AND PLENTY OF WEAR AND DISCOLOURING. ON THE OTHER HAND WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR SOMETHING THAT'S NEARLY 50 YEARS OLD AND BEEN WELL USED BY A CLOSE FRIEND FROM NEW.

INNER SLEEVE AGAIN I COULD HAVE REPLACED IT BUT HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP IT AS IT IS - IT HAS MANY CREASES AND TEARS.(IT COULD BE REPLACED)

THE RECORD - CONDITION VISUALLY I WOULD SAY IS GOOD, THERE ARE MANY SCUFFS AND SCRATCHES ON BOTH SIDES BUT LOOKS WORSE THAN IT PLAYS. ON SIDE 2 ON THE RUN IN, IT JUMPS SLIGHTLY BEFORE TRACK ONE. I HAVE PLAYED BOTH SIDES AND ALTHOUGH DOESN'T LOOK GREAT PLAYS WELL SLIGHT CRACKLE BETWEEN TRACKS BUT NOTHING TO SERIOUS. SOUNDS EXCELLENT

PLEASE DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A MINT COPY THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE, IT IS HOWEVER A VERY RARE COPY OF THIS ALBUM AND WOULD BE GREAT AS A FILLER TILL YOU GET A BETTER ONE.

COST OF THIS IN MINT IS AROUND £250-£350
