Gatefold Sleeve in Very Good+ condition
– some wear to edges

Vinyl in Excellent+ condition
(there are some surface marks visible on the vinyl when held up to the light but they don’t affect the sound quality apart from the odd light pop/crackle – on the run in to side 2 there is some surface noise for the first revolution and a few light clicks in the first part of Boho Dance)
