Gatefold cover is in good (minus) condition, showing signs of handling wear with light edge damage, creasing and front/rear vinyl ring starting to show. Cover is however clean, no tears, no seam damage but there is a small area of graphic damage to the rear (top left hand side) due to clumsy removal of an old retail sticker.
Each record label has the printing

Previous owner liked to write their details on this record, it has hand writing in these areas:
Writing to the inside of the gatefold rear panel
Writing to the inside of each record pocket, not viewable unless one looks inside
Record label Record #1 Side #1, Record #2 Side #4
To protect privacy, each instance of this writing has had the name/address obscured
New inner plastic sleeves
Both vinyl media have been carefully inspected visually. Both are in good - very good condition, both records have very light/light scratches - just a couple and generally around the lead-in area. Record 2 seems to have more of these light scratches than Record 1. Both vinyl are reasonably clean, so next up I had a critical listen.
I played all four sides of this album, very nice play - barely any click/pops noticed and a nice clean groove without any excessive surface noise - brilliant album!
New outer protective plastic album sleeve
Each side of each record is one long track
