UK release
Gatefold cover is in very good condition, no tears, no seam splits and no writing. The inner booklet (libretto and notes stapled into gatefold sleeve) is included.
New inner plastic sleeves
Both vinyl are in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can only see a couple of very light marks on all four sides. I then played the ENTIRE release, every single track, and there are no issues with surface noise or click/pops.
