The front laminate pasted sleeve shows a little mild corner discolouring or scuffing at a few edges in addition to a few paper splits or chips, which are almost inevitable in the odd areas or two for a US jacket of this vintage. Otherwise, a small number annotation on the back does little to distract & all text & colours are vivid & clearly legible.

The vinyl has received a deep cleanse on a top of the range Matrix machine. Visually we would grade the disc VG- due to a number of faint hairlines & paper scuffs but playback reveals a much deeper sounding & much better quality condition record than the naked eye would predict. The instruments & clarity, the tones & depth are simply remarkable. A little faint surface or the odd minor click in the quieter sections are the only distractions from an otherwise gorgeous original.
