Condition
The vinyl displays visible surface marks, light scratches and signs of previous handling. The sleeve has age-related wear, staining, discolouration, creasing and wear around the edges and corners. A previous owner’s name has been handwritten inside the sleeve, and an old reference sticker remains on the front.
The record has been visually inspected but has not been play-tested. Uninterrupted playback cannot therefore be guaranteed.
