Cover is in excellent condition, this is the textured cover. No marks, no tears, no writing. My only comment would be the rear bottom edge border looks a slightly different colour (rubbing?) and the same for the front left hand border but then I see online other photographs of this release with the same colouring - perhaps it was manufactured this way.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in excellent condition - inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see just 3 EXTREMELY light scratches in the lead-in area on Side A - these are very very light, otherwise the vinyl is pristine. Looks can be deceiving with vinyl so I have then played both sides complete - absolutely solid play, very low surface noise and I didn't hear one click/pop for the whole performance - fantastic condition.
