Notes:

Front cover:  This was purchased at a used store about a decade ago and it had been through the mill when I purchased it.  I’ve been very nice to it but it is what it is.  The black is torched so replaced all of it and performed some other fixes here and there through cloning.

Gatefolds:  I did some mild cloning to get rid of a few marks here and there.  I was also forced to replace the group member text under each of their photos.  

Back cover:  This side wasn’t too bad.  Just some slight cloning done and total replacement of the black areas.  Oddly, both this and the front are off balance so each side had to be readjusted slightly

Labels:  Side 1 has a little blue sticker on the right of the spindle hole which I cloned out.  Beyond that, all labels are in very good shape.
