CONDITION:
EX/EX
We always strictly grade our records using the Record Collector Standard (Side A graded first))
DISC: The disc is bright, clean and glossy.
I have played both sides of this disc and consider it to be a super example of a great album - although there are several light un-feelable marks, it plays without fault and remains quiet between the tracks.
COVER: The front laminated cover is clean with some creasing to the laminate but can still be considered as a good example.
The non-laminated rear of the cover does show some creasing and visible ring-wear that is visible in the photographs.
The printed detail on the spine is visible and easy to read although there is some creasing.
I grade the cover as VG.
I will provide further photographs and information if required.
