Has all 7 label errors. Has 4 photos and 2 posters. Cover is graded good. Vinyl is graded good. Tested with a Technics SL-1950 turntable, a JVC VR-5521 receiver and Sennheiser HD-515 headphones. The vinyl does have some gloss. The vinyl does have multiple small feelable scratches. Some, for me, were not feelable. Some of the scratches cause pops. Some of the scratches didn't not cause pops. Overall, I found this album to be a pretty good listenable copy. It is still very listenable, but I am selling it more as a collectable because of the stampers. I would recommend buying a new reissue or an older, cleaner pressing to get clean audio. If you do not like pops, static, scratches, etc, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ALBUM!!!

SIDE 1 MATRIX: SWBO-1-101-B29 IAM SIDE 2 MATRIX: SWBO-2-101-B28 IAM SIDE 3 MATRIX: SWBO-3-101-A28 IAM SIDE 4 MATRIX: SWBO-4-101-A28 IAM INSERTS: Photos: Strong Very Good due to the aging on the back. Posters: Good due to multiple seam splits, stains and aging. OTHER: Side 2 matrix has a 2 etched over a 4 and the B28 looks like it used to be A29. Side 4 looks like the A29 could have been B28 Overall, this is a pretty good listenable copy. The vinyl was tested with a Technics SL-1950 turntable, a JVC VR-5521 receiver and Sennheiser HD-515 headphones. I think a good cleaning would improve the audio. Some of the scratches were feelable, some, for me, were not. Some of the scratches made pops and some didn't. Side 1 sounded the cleanest. Sides 2,3 and 4 had light static and pops through out. For me, I would be happy to listen to this copy. The album is stilI listenable, but I am selling this album more as a collectable. The grading of this album is my opinion.
