Condition:
Viewed under a bright light there are some very light surface marks, none of these are deep in nature no deep scratches or scuffs . Visually I would still describe this is Excellent on both sides. Still retains its original shine.
Play Grade:
This sounds STUNNING, the quality is streets ahead of any other I have heard not heard the most recent re-press so can t comment on that . Using my audio set up you can almost imagine being in the recording studio with the band. The music comes to life. There are no pops, skips or jumps. Very minimal occasional background craekle can be heard, this may be eradicated if professonally cleaned and de-staticed.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. There are no rips or tears, the sleeve is square with just a tiny edge corner scuffing. The spine not pictured is still crisp and undamaged. If you saw it new in a shop it would look very close to this, certainly not bad for 49 years old it s aged better than I have
Any questions please ask apart from asking me to remove for a Buy-it-Now price. Not going to happen
