There are spindle marks showing up on either side under bright light - the vinyl appears well played. Handwriting appears under light on Side B. THE VINYL The vinyl appears in POOR to FAIR condition. A fair number of visible surface markings & scuff marks appear under bright light. Play is fair although sounds of the surface markings are audible in a minor way. The vinyl appears well played, well loved and handled many times. THE SLEEVE The sleeve is in FAIR condition. The sleeve does have evidence storage and handling use, the edges, spine and corners have minor scuffing. The spine is affected with slight creasing and scuffing. A two inch rip appears on the front cover from the right, mid way down. THE INNER SLEEVE A plastic sleeve accompanies the item, I have left a sticker on as I originally purchased this as part of an auction job lot. I am enclosing a further brand new bright white die cut inner sleeve. SIDE 1 3 o’clock - GM 6 o’clock - XEX 579 -1 9 o’clock - ? SIDE 2 3 o’clock - T 6 o’clock - XEX 580 -1 9 o’clock - ?
