slight open edge wear  corner dink

Original angled cut lyric inners in excellent condition except 1 very small bottom split and small tear on open edge of both inners/a very difficult item to get mint as there are various problems including the seam splits but also the open edge gets damaged (these are almost perfect)-also there is a temptation to substitute another inner and it is often difficult to match the colour !

The problem with these early angled inners is that they were very tight and tended to get jammed on the way in causing the various bits of damage.

Please note this 2nd pressed cover (with credits) was pressed shortly after the 1st issue and has the same quality lamination and there were still some angled inners available which were shortly after substituted with rounded inners   see other listings
