Cover is in excellent condition, very clean front and back, no tears, no writing on the outside of the cover, no handling wear to the edges, high shine - looks almost as new.
Very light mildew spots noticed on the record label.
First copies of this NZ release came in a green bag with black writing - I no longer have this, NOT supplied
The previous owner has hand written their details in these areas:
INSIDE the cover (out of view)
Record label Side 2
The name has been obscured for privacy
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl media is in very good condition, inspected visually and both sides look very nice - a couple of extremely light scratches only. I then played the entire album - what a great play! Just a little very low level surface noise at times but this is not significant.
New outer protective plastic sleeve
