Disc has several light hairlines, as well as a few slightly heavier scratches, which do cause some noise in places, noticeable during some quieter passages. However, it plays well throughout. Labels are clean and without writing, stickers or tears, although there is a slight ridge/mark on the side B label, and both sides show several spindle marks. Box sleeve shows several laminate creases, mainly along the edges, but this is common with this album. However, what is unusual is that these creases are really the only flaw with the sleeve - there is only a minimum of wear to the edges and corners, and the top flap, which is often found with a tear or split down the middle remains intact with just a few creases. Spine is fully legible. The nicest example of this sleeve we've ever come across! Sadly, the poster is missing, but it does come with a Vertigo swirl inner, which is in lovely shape with no splits or tears. A very respectable copy of this sought after original pressing overall!
