Epic Records
Cat# ELPS 3860 (Orange Epic labels)
1977 original release
Australian release
Cover is in good condition, meaning that there are no tears, no personal writing, no seam splits and with only light edge wear due to normal handling HOWEVER you will notice the "splatter spots" in the area of the bike exhaust (Green White area) which I could not remove by normal cleaning methods. Some light discolouration to the Orange/Red background on the front top right corner too. Overall though, the cover is in not too bad a shape for around 50 years on this earth! The inner printed lyrics sleeve is also included, although this has slightly Yellowed with age, no splatters or mildew marks though!
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see some light scratches on either side. Just looking at your vinyl is not a great way to judge the condition so on it goes to the LP12 for one last time ...
There are no significant issues with surface noise, some low level noise heard in the inter-track areas at times. No issues with click/pops except I did hear some low level clicks (scratch created) right out in the lead-out on the last track, Side B (For Crying Out Loud) but in my opinion this was no big deal.
