Cover is in good condition, practically no wear to the edges. Some front cover creasing, and light damage to the gloss coating on the front. Rear is unmarked although a little grubby after all these years.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of light scratches on each side of the record, I then played the album completely.
Slightly higher surface noise level than "normal" but only noticeable in the silent period between songs, overall no problems at all with surface noise and I only heard just one or two click/pop during the entire album.
New outer protective sleeve
