LABELS: The labels are clean, bright and unmarked with moderate spindle traces - EXCELLENT
VINYL Visual: Both surfaces retain a deep, glossy sheen with just a few light superficial marks (these have no audio consequence) - EXCELLENT
VINYL Audio: Great sound - clear, strong and powerful and even though this copy has seen moderate play over the years but there is no discernible groove-wear or deterioration in the sound quality and it plays beautifully throughout with no scratches, no loud clicks or pops and no other audio issues of note. The record sounds really sensational and is critically graded EXCELLENT++ for audio
SLEEVE: The outer laminated gatefold sleeve is good, square and solid with a nice deep, glass-like glossy sheen to the laminated surfaces with very little rubbing. The edges and spine are crisp and fresh and all spine text is clear and bold. Overall, a very fine example - EXCELLENT
