VINYL: GOOD -  A LITTLE LIGHT SURFACE WEAR AND FEW NON-FEELABLE SURFACE MARKS ARE VISIBLE ON BOTH SIDES, A QUIET LOW FREQUENCY AUDIBLE CRACKLE IS OCCASIONALLY, HEARD IN THE QUIETER MOMENTS IN THE BACKGROUND - NO HEAVY CLICKS OR POPS THOUGH, AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE DOWNGRADE IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING FAULT WHICH CAUSES THE STYLUS ARM ON MY PLAYER TO VISIBLE MOVE FROM LEFT AND RIGHT FOR AROUND THE FIRST SIXTY SECONDS OF PLAYBACK ON BOTH SIDES - THIS CAUSES A SLIGHT INTERFERENCE IN SOUND ON SIDE ONE DURING THE INTRODUCTION OF 'SPEAK TO ME' BUT NO SKIPS  - ON SIDE TWO HOWEVER IT CAUSED THE STYLUS TO SKIP A FEW TIMES DURING THE FIRST SIXTY SECONDS BUT ONLY UP TO THE THIRD LYRIC LINE - "MONEY - IT'S A GAS" - THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO FURTHER SKIPS FROM THIS POINT ON, A RECORD THAT HAS VISIBLE NON-FEELABLE SURFACE WEAR AND OTHER THAN THE MANUFACTURING FAULT WHICH CAUSED THE STYLUS TO SKIP FOR AROUND THE FIRST SIXTY SECONDS OF SIDE TWO ONLY CAN STILL BE PLAYED AND ENJOYED WITH STRONG AUDIO PLAYBACK AND NOTHING ELSE DETRIMENTAL TO OVERALL AUDIO EXPERIENCE

COVER: VERY GOOD / EXCELLENT - ORIGINAL GARROD & LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD COVER, A LITTLE MINIMAL AGEING WEAR IS JUST VISIBLE BUT NOTHING DETRIMENTAL TO THE OVERALL APPEARANCE IN ANY WAY AT ALL, COLOURS ALL LOOK VERY CLEAR AND VIVID, SPINE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT RUBBING WEAR TO THE OUTER PRINT ALONG THE BOTTOM SEAM BUT NO RIPS OR TEARS, A COVER THAT'S JUST SHOWING A LITTLE LIGHT AGEING BUT HAS CLEARLY BEEN STORED CAREFULLY AND STILL LOOKS IN A PRESENTABLE CONDITION
