Sounds Brilliant : Doesnt Jump : Mid. Track one seems to have a circular surface mark but it doesnt affect play at all, just the odd click towards the end of track 1 (no skipping or anything and not where the surface mark is either infact where no marks are visible which suggests its just how the vinyl is tho ive never heard or seen another original copy of this) and just the usual odd bit of surface noise here and there.
See quality of Vinyl and cover in Photos !
Vinyl : VG + Sleeve : EX Fully intact / no tears , a slight colour age spot at top of cover , like a thumbprint , the only slight wear is on the first fold right hand but not split and looks amazing for its age. (id maybe put VG+ , but looking at other gradings this seems much better nick)
