1975
UK original release (not the reissue)
Cover is in very good condition, no tears, no seam splits and no writing on the cover with just light edge wear showing on the spine from normal handling. I do notice however the around the rear edges there is a "Brownish" discolouring (no smells!), cleaning of the cover did not remove this. Inner printed sleeve is included and is in very good condition.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of light scratches on either side. I then played the ENTIRE album, every single track, and while there are no issues with surface noise on either side, I did hear some low level "click click clicks" on Side 2, track 3 (Back To The Night). These fortunately do not last very long (just a very short scratch) and all is then good with the world again. Another nice album from Joan!
