Notes:

Front cover:  This was sealed when I got it.  Minor scratches but nothing I couldn’t remove.

Sleeve-front:  The sleeve was sealed up tight in it’s jacket for who knows how long.  As a result, it’s pretty wrinkled.  I did what I could but I couldn’t do much without ruining the integrity of the type.  Can’t win ’em all.

Sleeve-back:  Same issue here.  Wrinkling can’t be removed.  The sleeves open up significantly larger than the windows.  Just right-click on them and select “open in new tab/window”.

Back cover:  Minor scratches here too – all easily removed.

Labels:  I love this iteration of the Arista label but the glowing “A” proved problematic when removing the spindle.  I got it done but it took time.
