Disc Visual Grade: MINT-!
In good natural light the record exhibits a superb ‘factory-fresh’ gloss and immaculately clean appearance, devoid of any marks or blemishes. When scrutinised under focused halogen light, no further marks are visible! The disc sits flat on the turntable with no warping or dishing. A superb visual example of a difficult record to find in such fine condition.

Audio Grade: MINT-!

The playback is superb, there are quiet lead-ins to both sides including the long ‘heartbeat’ intro. There are no pops and no clicks. Obviously in this condition there are no skips or sticks. There is also no factory skip on ‘Money’ as was common on some of the 1st pressings. Superb. You wont be disappointed!

Sleeve Grade: EXCELLENT!
Would be a higher grade save for the small name in pen on the top right, otherwise in fantastic condition. Nice front, back and insides and very little signs of any wear. The spine is sharp, straight and unworn. There are no rips, splits, pen or stains throughout. The original 1st press version purple title sticker - 67mm - is fully intact on the front and nicely placed. A solid 1st press midnight blue tint sleeve!

Inner: EXCELLENT! No splits, rips or stains, and lining is fully intact.

Posters: Both EXCELLENT PLUS! No rips, stains, pen, or pin marks.

Postcard Stickers: Both 1st press 'Permanent' stickers are NEAR MINT!
