FISTLY BEFORE I START , PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY.

VINYL - Visually the Vinyl is graded VERY GOOD and under strong light shows moderate light scuffs, marks. Nothing feelable or sinister and the surfaces still look reasonably clean.

PLAY TEST - The play test of the vinyl unfortunately brings up a couple of issues. On the whole the vinyl plays through well with some light background, surface noise, by no means over powering or to spoil the audio. A little light background noise in the quiter parts but the audio is still clear and strong. THE MAIN ISSUE IS ON THE FINAL TRACK "GAZING" SIDE TWO HAS A POINT WHERE IT STICKS. I can't see any scratch or reason for it to stick but it did on my Rega deck so therefore I'm grading the playback as GOOD+

LABELS - The LABELS are graded VERY GOOD and are in pretty good shape, they still retain their glossy shine, with some signs of spindle traces, but nothing major. Slight wear around the hole on side two, very minor. No tears or stickers and the print & colours are still strong and bright.

SLEEVE - Is graded GOOD and is intact, strong but shows some issues. Firstly there are two names written in biro on the front top right ( see pictures)
Upon opening the tri-fold sleeve the inside isn't to bad at all, all print is clear and strong and there are no tears or defacing on any of the inside flaps.
On the rear we find a little sticker removal tear, nothing major and the rest of the rear is not to bad.
The spines are intact, but where the print would have been it shows quite heavy rubbing, part of the print is still visible just but it does show a lot of running. The oppersite spine isn't to bad, mild rubbing only on there.
Top and bottom edges show rubbing also but are still reasonably ok.

INNER - The black die cut inner is in VERY GOOD condition with slight creases, no tears and I assume it is the original inner but cannot confirm this.

SO OVER ALL WE HAVE A VERY COLLECTABLE ITEM, AND IF YOU HAVE GOT THIS FAR YOU KNOW HOW SOUGHT AFTER THESE ARE AND THE PRICE A CLEAN ONE CAN COMMAND. UNFORTUNATELY THIS ONE ISNT WITHOUT FAULTS AND IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MINT EXAMPLE, THIS ISNT THE ONE FOR YOU
BUT IF YOUR BUDGET DOEST STRETCH TO £500 - £700 AND JUST WANT TO OWN A COPY, THEN THIS COULD FIT THE BILL.
AS IN THE DESCRIPTION, IT HAD AN ISSUE ON THE FINAL TRACK, THOUGH EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TURNTABLES, SET UPS YOU MAY FIND IT DOESNT STICK ON YOURS, BUT IM LISTING IT AS HAVING A DEFECT SO IF THIS ISNT FOR YOU, PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A BID.
