Vinyls are bright and shiny - Side 1, 2 & 3 is without signs of play or handling - perfect. Side 4 has a single light, small and inaudible sleeve inflicted line - otherwise perfect. Vinyls varies as such between 
Vinyls are overall conservatively graded Close To Perfect/Near Mint and Mint.
Labels does not indicate any play - perfect.

Inner sleeves has only faint signs of handling and are easily graded near mint - poster is clean mint - looks unused.

Cover is extremely nice - hardly any wrinkling fromt edges - almost no corners denting... a touch of corners rubbing only - plain close to mint - a simply superb copy.
