Condition Description & Other Information ### This is one of those occasions where Australian Rock Collectors probably tip their hats to 'Blighty' & take the UK 1st.Press over the Australian... the fact that I am an Englishman by birth has not influenced my assertion one iota!! oops ;) ### The Vinyl is described as Excellent & has been fully play-tested this morning. Playback quality is wonderful. Slightly more background noise to tracks A1 & B1. Several spindle marks to both labels. There are a reasonable number of extremely fine hairlines & sleeve marks to both sides of the record & it has retained nearly all of its rich waxy lustre. The Gatefold Cover is in wonderful shape & described as Excellent. There is some visible edge/spine & corner-wear. There are some fine cracks to spine & edges with associated wrinkles. There are some colour losses to edges & spine as well as some very hidden black felt tip darkening to open/top front edges. No seam splits of any kind. The Inner Sleeve is Excellent with no seam splits & just a couple of minor stains. Please see photos...
