Condition:
Mine from new. Originally obtained 40 years ago direct from Arista records promotional department as a pre-release review copy. Both LPs are in immaculate Near Mint condition, having only been played 2 or 3 times at most from new. Having just played both LPs I can report that the sound quality is superb. The white labels have 1 & 2 factory stamped along with handwritten info details (please see pictures). Both albums come housed in original poly-lined inner sleeves. The fold-out proof sleeve has a few light marks, mild creases and a sticker mark on the front near the top right corner.

All items are from my personal collection. Most are in excellent condition given their age.
Please feel free to ask any questions via eBay.
