Condition

Overall the condition of this work is very good. There is minor wear to the edges of the record cover likely due to the artist's choice of medium. There is some discoloration to the thread, again likely due to the artist's choice of medium. There is some surface soiling on the reverse of the top record around the folded edges. Minor discoloration to the tape on the reverse due to age.
