Also all photos above are of the exact record you will receive if purchased. This record is in near mint condition. It has some faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs, stains or any other damage. The centres show no wear and overall the large Vertigo swirl labels are clean, bright and in very nice condition. As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean, have a vivid lustre and show little in normal light. There are a couple of very faint and thing sleeve removal lines showing when angled but these are incredibly minor and overall there is barely anything evident and the vinyl is in superb condition, especially considering its age. I play tested the record and it played really well throughout. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was hardly any surface noise and most certainly nothing at all severe. Overall it plays great from start to finish and was a thoroughly enjoyable listen. The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has no serious issues at all and is a very fine example. The spine shows minimal wear and the text along it is all clearly legible. There is some light wear at the top and bottom of the spine, and light shelf rubbing to the bottom edges. There is also a small amount of minor creasing to the front top right corners, and light bruising to the front bottom right corners. Other than these areas there is hardly any creasing, and no real grubbiness or much fading at all. There are hardly any ring marks showing, and inside the gatefold is clean and crisp. Overall a very tidy and very presentable sleeve which has some light signs of age as outlined, but also no serious issues at all. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible. It includes its original Vertigo Swirl inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has light creasing/ring marking and minor signs of its age/storage. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit. The record will also be packaged in between cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to try to ensure a swift delivery.
