THE LABELS
The labels, no markings or handwriting either side - the factory sample sticker appears on Side 2, however please look at the picture, the factory sample sticker has evidence of potential tampering and the rounded corners may be more suitable to a 1980’s release.
Plenty of spindle marks show on either side.
THE VINYL
The vinyl appears in poor to fair condition.
Surface markings & scuff marks appear under bright light.
A distinctive single line crosses fully across the vinyl on Side One (see pic)
THE SLEEVE
The original laminated gatefold sleeve is in fair condition.
The sleeve shows storage and handling use, with creases causing minor rippling in the laminate covering. The edges, spine and corners have minor scuffing and there is a slight splitting in the spine caused by the housing of the vinyl.
THE INNER SLEEVE
The original inner sleeve is missing from this item, therefore the vinyl will be presented within a brand new die cut white handling sleeve and will be posted in this, but outside of the gatefold sleeve.

10 o’clock - 0
