...and for those into the handeteched trail off info:
Side 1: DAD 4009A1 COPYMASTERS. Miles. MPO
Side 2: DAD 4009B1 MPO
Side 3: DAD 4009C1 MPO
Side 4: DAD 4009D1 MPO

Condition: 2xVG++ (Vinyls and Labels)/2xVG++ (Inner Sleeves)/VG+(+) (cover):
Vinyls are both in extremely close to perfect condition with hardly any signs of play or handling - perfect labels.
Inners are in likewise near perfect condition. Cover has a light degree of wrinkling from edges... and a very marginal degree of corners denting/rubbing - a superb cover considering the vast potential for wear - graded close to near mint/excellent.
