The Wall - 1979 Canadian Columbia label 27-track 2LP Set - Export Copy

Rare original 1979 Canadian Columbia label 26-track 2LP set - complete with lyric inners - non barcoded gatefold picture cover.

Copies sold in Canada has the normal 'PC2' prefix - copies with the 'XPC2' prefix seems to be export copies normally found outside of Canada.

Condition: M- (Record 1 Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Record 2 Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Cover):

Vinyls are overall sublimely shiny - Side 1, 2 and 4 absoloutely perfect without any signs of handling or play. Side 3 with a single superlight mark and a sleeve mark... far from audible off course.
Labels are perfect and Record 1 is overall graded mint - Record 2 near mint.

Inner sleeves has a touch of inevitable vinyl outline - one sleeve has a minor lower split, the other a very minor bend from opening. Inner sleeves are gorgeous though graded near mint.

Cover has a little wrinkling from lower back seam stretching towards left lower vinyl outline - otherwise barely any signs of handling... overall graded near mint - a simply very, very nice copy.
