Gatefold cover is in very good condition, light handling wear to the edges, could a a small "deletion slot" punched into the top side. Front cover, rear cover and edges are all fine and clean, no seams splits, no writing. Original inner printed sleeve is NOT supplied.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in condition, inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see quite a few light marks or scratches on both sides. I have cleaned the vinyl a couple of times but it still may require more. Visually it looks fine, with just a few light scratches but nothing major however here are my comments about playback.
Surface noise is fine, low level and not an issue. A couple of click/pops noticed from time to time and these are generally very short. A longer issue is Side 1 track 2 - the click/pops are of a longer duration due to a scratch on this track.
SPECIAL NOTE: There is something "funny" with the vinyl when this was manufactured. When playing side 2 I could hear this very low level strange low frequency sound and looking closely at the vinyl, side 2 has "ripples" or vinyl flow marks. The record plays perfectly flat, the grooves (music) is not affected but this weird sound can be heard if listening carefully (background) - Side 1 does NOT have any such marks. These are not heat related marks, it is as though the vinyl didn't "set" properly when pressed but on one side only.
